Domain area expertise
* Two courses in a single domain meeting the following criteria: the courses should be focused around a theme (e.g., bioinformatics) and not a broad discipline AND that theme should
one that allows the possibility of data science-related activities, either within the courses themselves or in the student’s future career or further education.
* Pre-approved domain courses are listed below. Proposals for other areas of domain expertise (supported by two courses) will be approved on a case by case basis by the department.
No more than two courses can count toward any other major or minor.
Applied Mathematics and Statistics Majors may not also earn a Data Science Minor.
To ensure a synthesis between coursework in the department and the domain of expertise, all students must complete an integrative essay that either a) discusses an already completed integrative project (a course project, internship, summer research experience, etc), or b) proposes an integrative project in the domain of expertise.
