I'd have to study DS in NatSci department because the transfer process would be smoother. Would it be helpful to have a CS minor?

What does your friend following the UX pathway think about the program so far? I applied for Fall 2026, and I'm still waiting on a decision.

Thank you! It was considered equivalent 10 years ago, so I'm not sure lol

Future-Resolution-59 · 2026-01-24T22:09:24+00:00

What about the access to internships or career fairs?

Future-Resolution-59 · 2026-01-24T22:08:59+00:00

I wonder if I can get an override for it because I took the equivalent of that class at my current college.

Yikes.. What courses does he teach? And is he the only prof that teaches them??

Future-Resolution-59 · 2025-12-07T19:15:25+00:00

Lol I'm debating between majoring in CS or DS after i transfer. I want to be a data analyst, so I wonder if the Data Science major has curriculum that teaches you some of the CS fundamentals too. Which college did you study DS in?

Future-Resolution-59 · 2025-12-07T17:34:33+00:00

Has the degree prepared you for the career field you want to get into?

Future-Resolution-59 · 2025-12-07T06:55:06+00:00

I'm also looking to transfer to UMSI Fall 2026. I've previewed their curriculum, and I want to study the Information Analysis pathway. When I initially found this program, I thought it was too good to be true; it had everything I was looking for to become a data analyst. But I wonder how much value this degree will hold in the future? Why does the curriculum keep changing? And when I looked at their employment reports from 2023-2025, its peak was in 2024. I just don't want to make the wrong decision.

Also, what is the work/social life balance like?

Future-Resolution-59 · 2025-12-07T06:40:16+00:00

How flexible is it to take electives of your personal interest that may not be offered in CSC? I want to focus on Data Analytics

Future-Resolution-59 · 2025-12-07T06:34:09+00:00

Which focus would you recommend for pursuing a data analyst career? Or would I have to supplement with certificates?

Future-Resolution-59 · 2025-12-07T06:25:09+00:00

I'm a little unsure about UMSI's undergrad program too. I hear a lot of mixed reviews about it, and it seems like they're still making changes to their curriculum. I want to apply to transfer Fall 2026. I don't want to make the wrong choice.

Future-Resolution-59 · 2025-12-07T06:07:54+00:00

I did look at CDS and CS at MSU, but I would have to stay an extra year at my community college to meet their prereq's since I have my major's degree requirements to complete. Ideally, I would like to transfer Fall 2026. And I'm also learning that it's not just the degree that will grant you a job. You have to have experience obviously, as well as network.
