[quote=Anonymous]I would go where his personal strengths/interests lie and lean into that. One additional option that hasn't been put forth yet in this thread is one that is more content-area driven. That is you major in either CS, Stats, or a content area and then minor in CS, Stats or a content area. So like if you are interested in economic applications of data science, you could do CS+Econ (Econ would already have lots of stats). If you are interested in political/policy aspects of data science CS + PoliSci/gov. If you are interested in Business, healthcare etc. This really depends on how the majors are taught though. Like if stats is very math/theory vs. applied it might not work. If CS is very technical without a lot of application to contexts it might not work. I would talk to advisor/profs in each major and ask further. [/quote]
