Data Science Designated Emphasis - Sample Planners

This page contains sample plans that demonstrate how students in various Ph.D. programs at UCSC can complete both the requirements for their main degree and the requirements for the Data Science DE in normative time.  This list of programs on this page is not exhaustive, and the Designated Emphasis can be combined with any other Ph.D. program at UCSC as long as the student has the right quantitative background.

These planners should be taken as mere examples, you should always consult with your faculty and staff advisors and the General Catalog before deciding which courses to take. Courses marked in bold in the planners correspond to courses that satisfy the requirements of the Data Science DE.
