Data Science and AI as an Additional Major

It is possible to do a BS with both a CSC major and a DS&AI major. The DS&AI major can be the BS program or the BA program. It is impossible to do a BA with both a CSC major and a DS&AI major, due to the high overlap between the two programs.


To do a BS with a CSC major (Comprehensive track) and a DS&AI major (BS curriculum), take the courses listed below.

24 credits of the CSC major cannot double acount for the DS&AI major. The core CSC major courses provide all of the 24 credits, so no more are needed, i.e., all 5 of the 5 elective credits can double count for the DS&AI major. If CSC322 is used for 3 of the Techniques elective credits in the DS&AI major then maximally 2 of the 5 elective credits can double count for the DS&AI major. 24 credits of the DS&AI major cannot double count for the CSC major. The core DS&AI major courses provide 13 of the 24 credits, so 11 more are needed, i.e., maximally 7 of the 18 elective credits can double count for the CSC major.

The core CSC major courses provide all 24 of the 24 credits, so no more are needed, i.e., all 5 elective credits can double count for the DS&AI major. 24 credits of the DS&AI major cannot double count for the CSC major. The core and elective DS&AI major courses provide 20-22 of the 24 credits, so 2-4 more are needed, i.e., none of the elective credits can double count for the CSC major, and it is necessary to take an extra 2-4 elective credits.
