Banner Code: CDS
College: College of Science
Department: Computational and Data Sciences
The Computational and Data Sciences Minor (CDS) provides an attractive option for students majoring in science, technology, engineering, or mathematics (STEM) who wish to augment their major degree program with additional courses in modeling, simulation, data science, and scientific computing. The combination of computer science, numerical methods, science, and CDS synthesis courses will significantly enhance the practical knowledge and computational skills of the students when compared with the major field alone. Students will acquire the knowledge, skills, and techniques commonly used across scientific disciplines, which will allow them to apply their George Mason University education in a practical way in industrial, government, and academic settings. Computational and data sciences skills are highly sought after in today’s marketplace.
At least 8 credits must be unique to this minor and may not be used to fulfill requirements of the student’s major, concentration, or another minor or undergraduate certificate. Students must complete at least 6 credits in their minor at George Mason and achieve a minimum GPA of 2.00 in courses applied to the minor. For policies governing all minors, see the Undergraduate Policies section of this catalog.
For additional information, please contact the CDS undergraduate coordinator/advisor.
