Notes:

* Complete a two-semester capstone project which must have a focus on data science; students have the option to take an additional elective course to fulfill the capstone project requirement.  

Students enrolled in these programs must meet with an advisor to ensure their minor coursework is distinct from their major coursework:

• Computer Science, B.S.: 120 units
