Academic Advising
Applied data analysis majors work with both staff and faculty advisors throughout their undergraduate careers.
The staff advisor can help you with selecting classes, registration, general education requirements, and more. Your faculty advisor can help you explore opportunities such as internships, research, and applying to graduate school.

Which Program is Right for You?
The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences offers two data science majors, each with several domains. These questions can help you decide which major and domain is best for you:
- Would you like to apply data science to a specific area, or would you prefer to be as broad as possible?
- What classes have you taken and enjoyed? Is there a domain in those areas? If not, is there one that seems related to those areas?
- What are you passionate about and how do you want to apply that in a career?
