Program (3+2) for B.S./B.A. students with Mathematics Minor and M.S. in Data Science. The accelerated curriculum can be completed in five years to obtain the M.S. in Data Science degree within one additional year after completing the B.S./B.A. and the Mathematics Minor programs. The M.S. in Data science graduate courses are offered online only. The students take one graduate course during the summer preceding the senior year and two additional graduate courses during the senior year. Subsequently, the students complete the requirements for the M.S. in Data Science within one year. The accelerated program applies 9-12 graduate credits for undergraduate courses.
