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.
