Tracks to Explore

Tracks are a specified cluster of classes that help you to hone your knowledge and skills in a specific aspect of the major. These are typically less than what is required for a minor. Within Computer Science there are two tracks - Game development and Data Science. The Data science is currently under the approval process.

Students will complete the area requirements for computer science and add the following classes for the track in data science. As some classes are offered only once a year (and may have prerequisites), PLEASE plan ahead and work with your advisor and take the appropriate classes at the right time.

Co-Requirements:
- Complete the following:
  - MAT250 - Calculus and Analytic Geometry I (5)
  - MAT335 - Matrix Theory and Linear Algebra (3)

- Complete 1 of the following
  - Complete the following:
    - STA135 - Introduction to Probability and Statistics (4)
  - Complete the following:
    - STA440 - Mathematical Statistics I (3)
  - Complete the following:
    - CIS343 - Data Analysis: Inferences and Prediction (2)
