Approved Electives for the Data Science Minor
The courses listed below are pre-approved the meet the elective requirements for a minor in Data Science.
Many departments and programs offer special topics courses that may be appropriate (e.g. BIOL404, BUAD492, CSCI320, CSCI420, ECON400, GOVT390/391, and MATH 459.) However, these courses are not pre-approved and you must follow the process outlined on the Data Science webpage about how to get electives approved for the minor requirement.
