Data Science

Overview

Mission

The mission of the The Halıcıoğlu Data Science Institute (HDSI) at the University of California, San Diego is to lay the groundwork for the scientific foundations of this emerging discipline, develop new methods and infrastructure, and train students, faculty and industry partners to use data science in ways that will allow them to solve some of the world’s most pressing problems. 

We serve as a unique, collaborative and innovative academic unit across multiple disciplines at UC San Diego.

Data Science majors are able to directly enroll in courses that are restricted to students declared within the DS25 major during their 1st or 2nd pass. Students outside of the DS25 major, which includes DS25 minors, must submit a course pre-authorization request through the EASy system if they wish to enroll in a restricted course. We are adjusting our enrollment process and timeline for major restricted courses. 

• We will begin approving eligible EASy requests from non-majors according to the timeline below.
• We will approve EASy requests for courses that have seats available OR courses that have a waitlist. That means that you may receive approval of your EASy request, but only be able to waitlist the course.
