Accelerated Degree Pathway (ADP)

Students in the B.S. in Data Science program are eligible to pursue an P.S.M. (Professional Science Master’s) in Computational Science-Computer Science or the P.S.M. in Computational Science - Computational Mathematics while still an undergraduate, which means that they can take courses that will count toward both the B.S. and P.S.M. degrees. A formal application to the P.S.M. Computational Science program and an approval from the Department of Computer Science (for students pursuing Computational Science - Computer Science) or the Department of Mathematics and Statistics (for students pursuing the P.S.M. Computational Science - Computational Mathematics) are required. For more information, please see the Accelerated Degree Pathway requirements for the P.S.M. in Computational Science - Computer Science and the P.S.M. Computational Science - Computational Mathematics in the Graduate Catalog.
