The Data Science Minor is a program in the Interdisciplinary Studies Area of Study. Data Science minors may complete any major to satisfy the college requirement that the major and minor be in different areas of study. However, students who minor in Data Science may not major or double-minor in Computer Science, Informatics, or Software Engineering.

The Data Science Minor

The Data Science minor consists of 24 credits. At graduation, Data Science minors must have a GPA of at least 2.0 in the minor. The calculation is based on the grades of all courses presented for the minor. Only the most recent grade is considered for courses that have been repeated. At most one of the 100-level courses (CMPSC 100  or CMPSC 105 ) may be presented on the Credit/No Credit grade basis. A maximum of 8 transfer credits may be counted toward the minor; exceptions must be approved by the department chair.  

The minor in Data Science requires the completion of at least 24 semester hours of coursework, as outlined below.
