[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When my son was searching for this a few years ago, he ended up applying to different majors at different schools. It could be statistics, applied math, computer science, data science. Some places had a data science minor that might be in statistics and/or CS. The best program we found was at Virginia Tech -- Computational Modeling & Data Analytics. It's a cross-functional major bringing in classes/faculty from CS, Stats, Applied Math. He's a junior there now and having a great experience. https://data.science.vt.edu/programs/cmda.html FWIW, it has a fairly high acceptance rate (currently about 65%) and one of the university's highest starting salaries for graduates per VT outcome reports by major.[/quote] Adding to this...a lot of the CMDA students combine it with a CS minor (or math or stats minor) and they have the option to do a 5th year to get a CS master's degree.[/quote]
