Students majoring in Data Analytics must satisfy the General Education (GE) requirements for the Bachelor of Science degree in the College of Arts and Sciences. The following advising guidelines will help students strategically plan their GE courses to ensure timely progress toward completion of their degree.
The university implemented a new General Education program effective Autumn 2022. GE requirements for students who first enrolled prior to Autumn 2022 will not change. Their GE is now referred to as the "Legacy GE" or GEL. Students enrolling Autumn 2022 or later will follow the "New GE" or GEN.
