To graduate you must complete the following: All courses listed may not be available each semester.
You must complete a total of 288 credit points (i.e.: Twenty 12 credit point courses and Two 24 credit point courses) as follows:
- Two (2) STEM Future Technology Skills Courses (24 credit points); and
- Eleven (11) Core courses including one (1) 24 credit point course and ten (10) 12 credit point courses (totalling 156 credit points); and
- One (1) Capstone course (12 credit points); and
- 96 credit points (e.g. eight 12 credit point Data Science Option courses) from one of the following possible Combinations:
Combination 1: Complete Eight (8) courses from one of the Data Science Majors listed below; or
Combination 2: Complete Four (4) courses from two Minors in the minor lists below (one minor must be from the Data Science Minors list); or
Combination 3: Complete Four (4) courses from one of the Data Science Minors AND Four (4) Data Science Option Courses; or
Combination 4: Complete Four (4) courses from one of the Data Science Minors AND up to 48 credit points of University Electives; or
Combination 5: Complete Four (4) Data Science Option Courses AND University Electives up to 48 credit points.
Data Science Option courses mean all courses listed within each Data Science Majors and Data Science Minors.
University Electives can include any Data Science Option course, or any other course on the University Electives website.
Rules on completion of Majors/Minors:
A major is typically 96 credit points, and a minor is typically 48 credit points.
A maximum of Two (2) Minors can be completed in this program.
Please note, a course can only be counted once in your program:
Any course completed as part of the core courses in the program, including where you are given a choice of core option courses, cannot count towards the completion of a major or minor.
If you use a course toward the completion of a minor, you cannot use that same course again to count toward another minor.
The Data Science Major and Minor courses and cross-disciplinary Minor courses can be found at the end of the program structure. The courses in each Major and Minor need to be completed in the sequence listed.
