Course Details

The data science minor is an interdisciplinary program emphasizing human-centered applications of data analysis and modeling for the common good.

The minor has been designed to be flexible and accessible for students across a variety of disciplines; no previous programming experience is required, and students will be able to construct a 6-course pathway that connects data science to their application area of interest. 

The minor is open to all undergraduate students at Boston College

 

Course Requirements (18 credits):

  • Data Science Principles (CSCI 1090) (no prerequisite)? 

  • Mathematical Foundations of Data Science (MATH 2250) (prerequisite: Math 1101 or AP Calculus AB)? 

  • Data Science: Methods and Applications (CSCI 2291) (prerequisite: CSCI 1090 and MATH 2250)? 

  • Elective 1? 

  • Elective 2? 

  • Data Science Capstone (CSCI 4900)

Please Note: CSCI 1090 and MATH 2250 can be taken in either order or concurrently.

Consistent with the University’s academic regulations, students must have at least 15 credits in the data science minor that are not used to fulfill requirements for another major or minor or a Core requirement.

At most, 3 credits (1 course) can be “double-counted” towards the minor and the student’s major requirements.

 

Applying For The Minor

To be eligible to apply for entry to the data science minor program students must:

  • Declare the minor before the end of your sophomore year.

  • Complete CSCI 1090 and MATH 2250. (It is recommended that you maintain a minimum GPA of 3.0 averaged across these two courses.)

  • Have a degree audit

  • Complete the data science minor pathway form listing the focus area of your pathway, the two elective courses you will take, and two additional courses outside of the minor that support your pathway plan.

  • Apply by November 20 in the fall or April 20 in the spring. Notifications on acceptance will be made in December and May (once degree audits can be reviewed).
