CS&SS 490 will be offered each spring quarter. Priority will be given to graduating students. A Google Form will be available in March to request a seat in the course.
The capstone course is only offered during spring quarter. The Spring 2024 CS&SS 490 course will be held on Thursdays from 3:30 - 4:50 pm.
CSE 491 is the old name for CS&SS 490. Please email dars@uw.edu if you have CSE 491 on your audit and we can fix it.
This often happens for two reasons:
Any undergraduate student currently declared in a major. Students in the Data Science Minor come from all disciplines and academic backgrounds.
Anyone who has completed at least 45 credits and has a declared major is eligible to declare the minor. To declare, please reach out to your major departmental adviser, not the data science minor advisers.
SOC 225, CSE 180 and CSE 160 are good introductory exploratory courses into data science.
We will update the curriculum page soon after the time schedule is released for the upcoming quarter. If our list says a course will be offered, but it is not showing in the time schedule, it could mean the course was canceled or changed. Our lists reflects what was active on the time schedule when published.
Nothing - Advisers will review this about midway through the term you are scheduled to graduate and will update DARS accordingly. If you are concerned or have questions prior to this, please email us or attend drop-in advising. You will receive an email when your minor has been certified.
No. S/NS classes do not count toward the data science minor unless taken in an Extraordinary Circumstances Quarter.
Potentially. You will need to submit a petition if you want your research credit to count toward the minor. Your petition needs to include a letter from your faculty research mentor and a detailed description of how you think your work connects to the minor.
No. The data science minor is not housed in an academic department, therefore we do no have our own curriculum and cannot review study abroad credits for the data science minor. If you want a course you took abroad to count for the minor, you will first need to get the course evaluated via the study abroad evaluation process. If the course is evaluated as a class that on our course lists, DARS will automatically reflect that. If it does not, you are welcome to submit a petition.
