[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At VT there is lots of overlap so it might be possible to double major in CMDA and Statistical Data science and a minor in CS with minimal extra time.
CMDA: https://catalog.vt.edu/undergraduate/college-science/computational-modeling-data-analytics/computational-modeling-data-analytics-bs/
Statistical Data science: https://catalog.vt.edu/undergraduate/college-science/statistics/statistical-data-science/
Computer Science Minor: https://catalog.vt.edu/undergraduate/minors/computer-science-minor/[/quote]

Or just CMDA + minors in stats and cs. I don't really see the point of doing two data science majors. Or just SDS + CS minor if you want a greater stats emphasis. But I'd look into the major more. It's new vs CMDA being one of the earliest data science programs. CMDA has a well established capstone project program that works with industry partners. One of my son's job offers came from his capstone company.

Do one major and invest more time on projects via clubs, competitions, and Databridge to work with professors across the university on research.[/quote]
