Policies

Grading Policies

All courses that fulfill major requirements must be taken for a letter grade. Students may be granted a one-time exception to use one course taken for credit (CR) toward the major. This exception does not apply to the WIM and capstone, which must always be taken for a letter grade.

External Credit Policies

The program must approve transfer credit before it can be applied toward Data Science major requirements. First, students should submit the course-to-course equivalency request form. After receiving a decision on that request (whether approved or denied), students should submit the request to apply transfer credit toward the Data Science major. Requests are reviewed on a case-by-case basis by the Program Director and Associate Director. Please see our Transfer Credit page opens in a new tab for more information.

Additional Program Policies

All students must choose a subplan.

Double-counting within the major is not allowed, unless explicitly stated otherwise. The major follows the university policy on double-counting between the data science major and another major or minor, including the list of approved courses here.
