All students must complete the University Curriculum requirements.
- 2
Students enrolled in the Bachelor of Science in Data Science program are required to complete a minor (typically 18 credits) to complement the knowledge and skills developed in the major. Students may select a minor from any program within or outside of the College of Arts and Sciences.
Modern Language Requirement
All CAS students (both bachelor of science and bachelor of arts) must complete one modern language through the 102 level. Modern language courses may also count toward the UC Personal Inquiry II requirement. Students who have taken a language in high school should take the modern language placement test for that language. Students with placement scores at the 201 level or higher have demonstrated language competency and thus have passed out of the language requirement.
