DEGREE REQUIREMENTS
Requirements for the SM degree in Data Science address the learning outcomes. A total of 12 courses taken over at least three semesters is required.
Each student's plan of study for the SM degree will include:
The four technical core courses:
AC 209a “Data Science 1: Introduction to Data Science”
AC 209b “Data Science 2: Advanced Topics in Data Science”
AM 207 “Advanced Scientific Computing: Stochastic Methods for Data Analysis, Inference, and Optimization”
CS 207 “Systems Development for Computational Science”
AC221 “Critical Thinking in Data Science”
At least one research experience. This requirement can be satisfied by the AC 297r Capstone project course, a semester-length independent study project, or a master's thesis project.
At least one Computer Science elective and one Statistics. Courses often chosen to satisfy these electives are listed here.
Up to one seminar course - AC 298r or similar
