The B.S. program in mathematics with a concentration in Data Analytics is designed to prepare our students to pursue graduate work in applied mathematics, statistics, or data analysis, and to provide our students with mathematical, statistical and data analytical skills for massive data processing challenges at workplaces in the military services, private enterprise, or government agencies. The course of study leading to this concentration includes 18 semester hours of general electives. The required courses are 9 semester hours of computer science: CSCI 205 , CSCI 320  and CSCI 350 ; 15 semester hours of statistics and data analysis: STAT 261 , STAT 362 , STAT 366 , STAT 451  and STAT 461  ; and 31 semester hours of mathematics: MATH 121 , MATH 131 , MATH 132 , MATH 206 , MATH 231 , MATH 234 , MATH 240 , MATH 470 , and MATH 495  . All undergraduate courses taken at The Citadel with a subject prefix of MATH and STAT will count towards the major GPA.
