Major in Data Science
Beginning in Fall 2024, students can earn a major in data science. This is an interdisciplinary program with the Offutt School of Business. Adding a minor or second major is attainable with this program; however, students may not complete this major with the data analytics concentration of the computer science major due to significant overlap in coursework.
Minor in Data Analytics
The data analytics minor complements most majors. Students may not complete this minor with the data analytics concentration of the computer science major or the new data science major.
Undergraduate Certificate in Applied Data Analytics
New in 2024, students can earn an undergraduate certificate in applied data analytics. This certificate will equip students with the practical knowledge and skills essential for thriving in data-centric fields.
