The Center for Data, Mathematical, and Computational Sciences (DMC) at 69色情视频 offers an integrated ecosystem of programs designed around shared foundations and flexible pathways. Students can pursue a BS in Computer Science, Data Science, Cybersecurity, or Mathematics, with all four programs sharing core coursework in programming, data structures, and mathematical reasoning. This common foundation enables students to explore diverse electives\u2014from Machine Learning and Agentic Software Architectures to Cryptography and Big Data Programming\u2014while building expertise in their chosen discipline.<\/p>\n
The real value emerges through our accelerated 4+1 pathways, where undergraduates can complete both a bachelor’s and master’s degree in just five years. Students from any of the four BS programs can transition into the MS in Data Science, MS in Computer Science, or MS in Applied Mathematics, taking up to three graduate courses during their senior year at undergraduate tuition rates. This saves approximately 30% on graduate education while building advanced competencies in artificial intelligence, statistical modeling, and systems architecture.<\/p>\n
All of the undergraduate programs below can lead to a graduate degree in any of the disciplines the Center supports. If you are just starting out in your college career, take a look!\u00a0 Students enrolled in these majors might want to consider the 4+1 BS to MS Degree option<\/a>.<\/p>\n The Center supports three Master of Science degrees, all of which share resources and faculty. Students in all three programs take many similar courses. See below for specific degree requirements. Take a look at how our courses match up with the the Academic Data Science Alliance industry endorsed list of core competencies<\/a>!<\/p>\n Category 1 Electives allow students to explore more specific areas of data science focused on technical skills. These electives reinforce different goals and learning outcomes, however most focus analysis, presentation, and integrative skills.<\/p>\n The Category 2 elective allows students to dive deeper into the broader context of data, particularly within business and industry. The courses listed have a less technical focus and instead aim more at data driven decision making and presentation skills. Students are permitted to replace this with a third Category 1 elective in most cases should they choose.<\/p>\n We have 3 graduate certificate programs available in Data Science. You can take three courses an earn a certificate in either Data Analyst, Data Modeler, or Machine Learning Engineer. The courses you take will count towards a future MS in Data Science if you decide to take that on later!<\/p>\n Learn more about our Graduate Certificates in Data Science<\/a> Category 1 electives create opportunity for students to deeply study very specific sub-disciplines in Computer Science. In each, students are reinforcing program goals of programming skills and problem solving, and gain experience in presentation, communication, and integrative skills through class projects.<\/p>\n Category 2 electives focus on mathematical reasoning, along with problem solving and computational thinking. Students will often use programming and computation in these classes to solve mathematical and algorithmic problems. The courses all provide students with experience in analysis<\/i>.<\/p>\n Below are
