BSDS Change of Major Policy

The Computer 科学 department will accept change of major applications to the BS 数据科学 from students with fewer than 90 units.  

Details of the policy are:

  1. Applicants must be in good academic standing to be considered for a Change of Major.
  2. Applicants must have achieved both a sufficiently high 菠菜网lol正规平台 Cumulative GPA and a sufficiently high GPA in courses that are required to apply at the time that the application is 提交.  2024年是3.5 or higher for both GPAs is required to apply.
  3. Applicants must have completed the following courses with a C or better by the end of the semester the application is 提交:
    • For students with fewer than 60 units:
      • cs22a (only if taken before CS 46A)， cs46a, cs49j *， math42.  
      • Or: CS 46A, CS 46B, CS 49J*, 数学42
      • 注意:  If CS 22A is taken  concurrently or after CS 46A, it will not count toward the change of major requirements and the following courses are required: CS 46A, CS 46B, CS 49J*, 数学42
    • For students with 60 or more units, but less than 90:
      CS46A, CS46B, MATH30, MATH31, MATH42, CS131. 
  4. These are minimum requirements and do not guarantee admission due to space limitations.
  5. According to Presidential Directive 2009­-05, applications 提交 by students who have earned 90 units or more will not be considered.

Applications will be accepted twice per year, with deadlines of December 1st for Spring semester (notification by approximately February 3) and May 1st for Fall semester (notification by approximately June 30).  

Review of applications will occur only after the application deadline.

提交

Applications for Change of Major should be 提交 to the 理学院 建议 Center.

Due to space limitations, even if the student has met all the requirements, there is no guarantee of admission to the 数据科学 major.  Final admission will depend on the capacity of the new major and the ranking based on the GPA in the courses required to apply and the 菠菜网lol正规平台 Cumulative GPA.
