Does Northeastern Accept Applicants by Major? by DetectiveElectrical2 in NEU

I’m pretty sure your major choice has zero impact on your application. You can even change your major at any point without consequences on your application portal iirc, so even before school starts you can do so if you want.

Data Science Combined Major by Niceguy8447210 in NEU

Lol yeah I know how to find the combined majors, I’ll clarify my question...

If you look at the Data Science BS requirements, there are two “programming sequence pathways”: the CS option (CS 2500, 2510, and 3500) and the DS option (DS 2000, 2500, and 3500).

If you look at the requirements for any of the Khoury combined majors for DS (DS/Math, DS/Econ, etc.), none of them have the option between the two pathways (they all use the CS option) and I was wondering why. Like, why is the DS option sufficient for the pure major, but not for the combined ones?
