Data & Technology

Build the skills to lead as technology evolves.

Denison gives you the competitive edge in data and technology career pathways. You’ll graduate with both the technical skills needed and the critical thinking and communication skills to excel in your career — and the adaptability to thrive as technology evolves.

“Working at Google requires me to nimbly adapt to changing circumstances, learn quickly from others, and thrive in ambiguity. Those are exactly the kinds of skills I was able to sharpen while at Denison.”

King Center for Data & Innovation

Launched in 2026, the King Center for Data & Innovation positions Denison as the first liberal arts college with a hub devoted to integrating AI and data across the curriculum.

Challenging academics. Career-ready skills.

Our academic programs are rigorous, and that’s exactly why employers want our graduates.

You can major in data analytics, computer science, or applied mathematics — programs designed with data and technology careers in mind. You can broaden your academic scope with minors in AI & machine learning, data for political research, and digital humanities.

But you’re not limited to those majors. Whatever you study across our curriculum, you’ll sharpen skills that match your data and technology career path.

Denison alumni network

When Denison alumni see your resume, you’re not another applicant — you’re part of the Big Red family. The founder of Travelocity, the former president of Nielsen, and software engineers at Google all started where you are, and they remember.

Denison’s 37,000+ alumni actively support students pursuing data and technology careers through mentorship, internship creation, strategic introductions, and direct advocacy in hiring processes.

They host career treks at their offices, return to campus as executives-in-residence, conduct mock interviews, and open doors that traditional applications can’t.
