FREQUENTLY
ASKED QUESTIONS
I’m a current UCI student. What are the
change of major requirements for Data
Science?
• Cumulative UC GPA: 2.7 or higher.
• 3.0 or higher average GPA and no grade lower than a C for ICS 31, ICS 32, and one
of the following: Math 2A, Math 2B, Math 2D, ICS 6B, or ICS 6D.
• Students with more than 60 units will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis and may
not be admitted to the major.
• Students will not be able to complete the degree in Data Science prior to Spring
2018.
If you are a freshman, contact Neha Rawal (neha@ics.uci.edu) to inquire
about getting a waiver to change into the major
More generally, you can talk to ICS Student Affairs Office Counselor if you
are interested in changing your major to Data Science
What can I do with a
Data Science Major?
• Careers in “Data-Oriented” Companies and Organizations
– Computing/internet companies: Google, Amazon, Facebook, IBM,….
– Engineering companies: Intel, Samsung, Boeing, ….
– Finance/insurance companies
– Medical/pharmaceutical companies
– Government/national labs: NASA, NIST, DoD, ….
– Many many more……
• Option to specialize with a Graduate Degrees (MS or PhD)
– Computer Science: specialize in a topic such as machine learning,
databases, etc
– Statistics: specialize in a statistical topic, e.g., computational statistics
– MS/PhD degrees lead to a wide variety of careers
Are there jobs for Data Scientists?
“The United States alone faces a shortage of 140,000 to 190,000 people with deep analytical
skills as well as 1.5 million managers and analysts to analyze big data and make decisions
based on their findings. The shortage of talent is just beginning.”
(McKinsey Global Institute Study on Big Data, 2011)
Are there (currently) jobs for Data
Scientists?
Glassdoor.com currently ranks Data Scientist as the #1 job in a America, based on
number of job openings (1,736), median base salary ($116,840), and career
opportunity.
Source (August 21, 2016) : https://www.glassdoor.com/List/Best-Jobs-in-America-LST_KQ0,20.htm
Do I need a Data Science
degree to do Data Science?
• Technically no……many people currently are “data scientists” with
backgrounds in quantitative degrees that are not data science
– Some with statistics, some with computer science, some with a
combination
– Some with other quantitative degrees
• Advantages of the DS major
– Puts you on the “fast track” to becoming a Data Scientist
– Ensures that you will know the fundamentals of both
• Computing
• Statistics
– Provides you with skills that are likely to have lasting value (as
technology changes)
What are other degree options?
• Computer Science with a Statistics minor?
– More classes in “systems” aspects of computer science
– Fewer classes in statistics
– No capstone data science project class
• Another degree like Math or Economics with a Statistics minor?
– Far fewer classes in computer science
– Fewer classes in statistics
– No capstone data science project class
• Statistics undergraduate degree (e.g., at another UC)?
– More classes in mathematics and statistics
– Far fewer classes in computer science
– No capstone data science project class

  • 20. I’m a current UCI student. What are the change of major requirements for Data Science? • Cumulative UC GPA: 2.7 or higher. • 3.0 or higher average GPA and no grade lower than a C for ICS 31, ICS 32, and one of the following: Math 2A, Math 2B, Math 2D, ICS 6B, or ICS 6D. • Students with more than 60 units will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis and may not be admitted to the major. • Students will not be able to complete the degree in Data Science prior to Spring 2018. If you are a freshman, contact Neha Rawal (neha@ics.uci.edu) to inquire about getting a waiver to change into the major More generally, you can talk to ICS Student Affairs Office Counselor if you are interested in changing your major to Data Science
  • 21. What can I do with a Data Science Major? • Careers in “Data-Oriented” Companies and Organizations – Computing/internet companies: Google, Amazon, Facebook, IBM,…. – Engineering companies: Intel, Samsung, Boeing, …. – Finance/insurance companies – Medical/pharmaceutical companies – Government/national labs: NASA, NIST, DoD, …. – Many many more…… • Option to specialize with a Graduate Degrees (MS or PhD) – Computer Science: specialize in a topic such as machine learning, databases, etc – Statistics: specialize in a statistical topic, e.g., computational statistics – MS/PhD degrees lead to a wide variety of careers
  • 22. Are there jobs for Data Scientists? “The United States alone faces a shortage of 140,000 to 190,000 people with deep analytical skills as well as 1.5 million managers and analysts to analyze big data and make decisions based on their findings. The shortage of talent is just beginning.” (McKinsey Global Institute Study on Big Data, 2011)
  • 23. Are there (currently) jobs for Data Scientists? Glassdoor.com currently ranks Data Scientist as the #1 job in a America, based on number of job openings (1,736), median base salary ($116,840), and career opportunity.

  • 24. Do I need a Data Science degree to do Data Science? • Technically no……many people currently are “data scientists” with backgrounds in quantitative degrees that are not data science – Some with statistics, some with computer science, some with a combination – Some with other quantitative degrees • Advantages of the DS major – Puts you on the “fast track” to becoming a Data Scientist – Ensures that you will know the fundamentals of both • Computing • Statistics – Provides you with skills that are likely to have lasting value (as technology changes)
  • 25. What are other degree options? • Computer Science with a Statistics minor? – More classes in “systems” aspects of computer science – Fewer classes in statistics – No capstone data science project class • Another degree like Math or Economics with a Statistics minor? – Far fewer classes in computer science – Fewer classes in statistics – No capstone data science project class • Statistics undergraduate degree (e.g., at another UC)? – More classes in mathematics and statistics – Far fewer classes in computer science – No capstone data science project class
