The minor in Data Science is open to all students not majoring in Computer Science or Data Science, or minoring in Computer Science or Information Systems.

Minor Requirements


To declare the minor in Data Science, students must complete CSE 114  and either AMS 210  or AMS 310   with a GPA of 3.0 or higher in these courses. Priority is given to students with a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher. For students who have completed more than two courses applicable towards minor entry, the GPA is computed using the highest grades earned in two of the courses. At most one of the courses used to meet minor entry requirements may be repeated. Only courses transferred before matriculation can be used for DAS minor admission purposes. Admission is competitive and contingent upon program capacity.
 
The minor requires approximately 23 credits as outlined below. At least 15 credits taken to satisfy the minor in Data Science may not also be used to satisfy a student’s majors or other minors requirements. Students who have declared the minor should see a Data Science Undergraduate Advisor to discuss a suitable selection of electives.
