Students interested in a feature in computer science specifically should also consider the "Computer Science and Engineering" degree for greater depth.

The M.S. in Data Science is a PROFESSIONAL and TERMINAL degree. It is not a research degree, does not have a thesis component, and is not intended to prepare students for doctoral (Ph.D.) study. Students interested in graduate school with a research focus should consult their advisor before committing to the program. As a professional degree, the M.S. is tuition-funded, rather than grant-funded, though undergraduate financial aid agreements apply.
Students must ensure they meet the undergraduate credit requirement to graduate on time. In practice, this means taking four full courses (16 credit hours) every semester during the three undergraduate years, and an additional course over the three years, usually by taking two half-courses (2 credit hours each) to avoid additional tuition costs. I recommend MATH 102X, MATH 153, and ARTH 10X classes.
Dual Degree students should not take the following which is redundant with graduate level coursework:
DATA 352W: Ethics, Teamwork, Communications
