Curriculum
Advising

Students are strongly encouraged to discuss curriculum choices for the MLDS minor with their major advisor to find the best way to integrate courses into their schedule. The documents below provide examples for how MLDS courses can apply towards specific major requirements, but are not the only way to fit the minor in.

Students pursuing the minor in 2024-2025 should use the 2023-2024 catalog year documents. However, if students are completing their major and minor with degree requirements from 2021, they should use the 2020-2021 catalog year documents.
