Data Science Accelerated Curriculum
By Spring of Junior Year
Students must have completed MATH 2111 Statistics for Science Majors (general elective)
and CSAS 1113 Computing for Science Majors (elective for the B.S. in Physics). B.A.
majors may also complete ISCI 1117 Computing for Informatics instead of CSAS 1113.
Summer between the Junior and Senior Years
Students take the graduate course DASC 7211 Network Analysis or DASC 7521 Operations
Research, which shall count as a general elective for the undergraduate requirements.
Senior Year
Students take DASC 6010 Data Mining and DASC 7111 Text Mining. DASC 6010 and DASC
7111 replace the undergraduate courses DASC (CSAS) 3010 and DASC 3111. Optionally,
students may additionally take DASC 7000 Data Visualization which replaces the undergraduate
course DASC 3000.
Graduate Year
- Fall Semester: Take DASC 6811 Statistics for Data Science and DASC 7000 Data Visualization
(if not yet taken)
- Spring Semester: Take DASC 6911 Big Data Analytics and two elective graduate courses
from the M.S. in Data Science curriculum
- Summer Session: Take DASC 9311 Data Science Project and one elective graduate course
from the M.S. in Data Science curriculum
