[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He should look into the Computational Modeling & Data Analytics major at VT. It's kind of under-the-radar, probably because it's in the College Science, not College of Engineering, and as a result has a much higher admission rate than CS despite being 1/2 CS and 1/2 applied math/statistics. Many students double major or minor in CS. It also has one of the highest average starting salaries at the university.

Latest VT data shows it has a 65% in-state acceptance rate.

My son is a rising senior CMDA major, had great experiences so far and an excellent internship this summer.

Good info, thanks for sharing. At VT can one take double minor/major across colleges, e.g. a one minor/major from College of Engineering and one minor/major for College of Science? Or do both have to within one and same college?[/quote]

I don't know the process but you can definitely double major/major-minor in different colleges. DS is a CMDA major in College of Science, minor in CS in College of Engineering.[/quote]
