*As part of their degree requirements, Data Science majors are also required to complete a minor or double major to gain domain knowledge in a particular field, to better contextualize their data studies. Most minor programs require 5-6 courses. Any minor or second major can be selected: https://www.ramapo.edu/majors-minors/a-z/

**Data Science elective courses to be chosen for the BS in Data Science may require pre-requisites outside the program requirements. For example, Math 305 Differential Equations, Math 245 Numerical Analysis, and Math 253 Probability each have Math 122 Calculus II as a pre-requisite. Additionally, Math 253 Probability also allows the option for Math 122 Calculus II to be taken as a co-requisite. Please see instructor for ECON 310: Econometrics to discuss prerequisite course requirements.
