Some of the requirements fulfilled at other institutions may transfer to SUU and count toward the major with the approval of the Department Chair. A minimum of 18 credit hours, including the capstone project, must be completed at SUU. Some courses are taught every other year or as needed. Consult your Student Success Advisor for scheduling help. Courses may not be repeated more than two (2) times without instructor approval. Credits over 10 years old may not be accepted for use in the major. This program requires the completion of MATH 1040 - Statistical Inference , MATH 1190 - Introduction to Data Science , or MATH 1210 - Calculus I . Students who are not prepared for this math course may need additional math credits/preparation, which may affect time to graduation. Please consult your Student Success Advisor for more information.
