Notes:

1. EC 102  and EC 103  are recommended to fulfill the Social Science Core.
2. MA 151  may be substituted for MA 251  with permission of the program director.
3. CS 212  is a prerequisite for CS 312 . MA 351  is a prerequisite for ST 461 .
4. Up to two graduate-level Data Science courses may be taken as a DS Elective with approval from the program director.
5. CS 485  is offered every other year.
6. ST 465  is offered every year in the fall semester, while both ST 310  and ST 472  are offered every year in the spring semester.
7. CS 403  should be taken instead of DS 303  by double majors in computer science and data science. CS 312  is a prerequisite for CS 403 .
8. The Data Science major cannot be combined with a minor in Computer Science, Information Systems, or Statistics. Students may double major with these programs.
