By adding the data science option to your ISE degree, you will be able to deepen your knowledge by taking classes from a curated curriculum comprising core classes and technical electives. The curriculum is organized in a way that will help you get a well-rounded education for high demand jobs in machine learning, data visualization and database design.

Upon completion of the coursework, which must equal 18-24 option-specific credits, the data science option will be denoted in your official UW transcript.

How to add the option to your degree

You must declare the data science option before filing the graduation application, which is typically done during autumn quarter of your senior year. We recommend that you declare the option by spring quarter of your junior year.

To declare the data science option, please e-mail your academic adviser with the following information:

• Name and student ID#
• An academic plan outlining courses from the program requirements; which ones have been taken or when you plan to take them

If you have any questions, we encourage you to schedule an advising appointment by sending an e-mail to ieadvise@uw.edu.
