Support Courses: 0-9 Minimum Required Hours


Students majoring in the Data Science program are encouraged to complete the following courses in high school.

Major Requirements


Data Science: 69 Minimum Required Hours


Electives to bring total to: 124 Minimum Required Hours


Minimum Grade Requirements


  1. Average in (a) all college course work, and (b) course work at UCO: 2.50
  2. A minimum grade of “C” must be earned in all courses in the major to count toward meeting degree requirements.

Accelerated BS/PSM


UCO’s PSM (Professional Science Master’s) in Computational Science has partnered with the B.S. in Data Science so that approved students may take up to nine credit hours of 5000-level CMSC, MATH, or STAT courses during their senior year of the B.S. program. These courses 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 Mathematics and Statistics (for students pursuing the P.S.M. Computational Science - Computational Mathematics) or the Department of Computer Science (for students pursuing the Computational Science - Computer Science) are required. Requirements are located in the UCO Graduate Catalog under Computational Science - Computer Science, P.S.M. and Computational Science - Computational Mathematics, P.S.M.

Up to nine credit hours


Up to nine credit hours of the following courses can be used to satisfy both the B.S. Data Science and the P.S.M. Computational Science - Computational Mathematics:

  • CMSC 5043 Applications Database Systems
  • CMSC 5143 Algorithms for Machine Learning
  • STAT 5213 Applied Regression Analysis
  • STAT 5533 Data Mining and Statistical Learning
  • STAT 5413 Data Visualization and Exploration
