CDS Elective Choices

CGS students who are interested in exploring and/or pursuing Data Science should enroll in an introductory programming course (CDS DS 100 or CDS DS 110) during the spring of their first year. CDS Advising generally recommends students consider beginning with CDS DS 100.

Data Science majors are recommended to begin with CDS DS 110 if they meet any of the following criteria:

• Have credit for any of the following: AP Computer Science A, AP Computer Science Principles, or IB Computer Science, especially if these courses were taught in Java
• Have experience programming in Python

If you encounter any issues with adding your CDS courses, please contact CDS Academic Advising. Please refer to the Computing & Data Sciences pathway for information on the BS in Data Science.
