Harvey Mudd的数据科学重点课程
Harvey Mudd College has long been a leader in educating students in subjects fundamental to data science and is guided by our mission to educate leaders who understand the impact of their work on society. The Emphasis in Data Science guides students toward data-scientific curriculum opportunities and practical data-rich experiences across the college in a coherent and cohesive manner.
数据科学的重点不是一个专业. Rather, it is a coordinated program of study that allows students majoring in the sciences, engineering, and mathematics the opportunity to apply data-scientific approaches across a variety of applications and understand their work from a range of perspectives, 因此，他们可以最好地评估自己对社会和世界的影响.
Emphasis Requirements
Students must declare their intention to pursue an Emphasis in Data Science in or before their sixth semester. 强调数据科学需要至少六门核心课程之外的课程, 包括一个顶点项目. 一门课程不能同时满足重点上的两个要求, but courses satisfying requirements for a student’s major may also satisfy a single emphasis requirement.
The emphasis requires one course (on or off campus) be chosen from each of the following categories:
- Computing Fluency
- 概率论和统计学
- Data Science and Values
- Electives (x2)
- Capstone
Please consult the list of approved courses 在选课时满足每一项要求. 满足重点要求, any course listed on the list of approved courses should be completed with its co-requisite courses.
Note, students who have declared the intention to pursue the emphasis are not obligated to complete it, nor are departments offering courses satisfying emphasis requirements obligated to prioritize these students for registration.
Capstone Requirement
顶点可以是特定于领域的，并由每个主要学科构建. In general, students should:
- carry out and communicate results from an extensive data-driven project that is related to a real-life problem; and
- study at least one type of advanced data-analytic methods such as (not limited to): generalized linear models, Bayesian analysis, 高级概率论和随机过程, non-linear models, machine learning, advanced study-design, big data analysis, econometrics, or statistical computing.
符合此要求的课程
- A year-long thesis project;
- A year-long clinic project; or
- 在大三或大四有独立的研究经验.
Petitions to satisfy this requirement with a capstone not on this list will be considered in special cases; students should email the Emphasis Program Committee to inquire.
How to Apply
At any point up to the end of the pre-registration period in the student’s sixth semester, 学生可以开始追求重点的过程:
- 学生应该完成 重点在数据科学-兴趣形式 表达他们对完成重点的兴趣. 这就完成了应用程序的重点.
- Upon receiving the form, 数据科学重点项目委员会 will add the student to the emphasis mailing list and create an online meeting log. 这个文件将对学生开放, their major advisor(s), 数据科学重点项目委员会, 以及书记官长办公室.
Advising
Students pursuing the Emphasis in Data Science are required to attend an advising meeting once per year hosted by a member or members of the Emphasis Program Committee to receive guidance and approval for course planning. 这是强调的主要建议结构.
Students should discuss and confirm their emphasis choices with their major advisor(s) to ensure coherence with their intended program of study. The online log provided to each student is meant to help the student confirm course selections satisfy the emphasis requirements. Questions about these requirements should be directed to the Emphasis Program Committee (eds-info-l@g.lightscribecovers.com).
Completing the Emphasis
Students who successfully complete the requirements for the Emphasis in Data Science by the time they graduate will have the emphasis noted on their official college transcript, 并将在毕业典礼上得到认可.
To complete the emphasis, graduating seniors must meet with members of the Program Committee in the advising meeting hosted in their final year and confirm that the courses listed in their form are the ones they took or in which they will enroll in their last semester. 学生应通知课程委员会(eds-info-l@g.lightscribecovers.com)，表明学员已准备好接受注册主任以电子方式核实他们的课程. 由于注册官可以访问在线表格，因此不需要提交纸质表格.
Emphasis Timeline
The Emphasis in Data Science has several checkpoints throughout the calendar year to make sure that students, Program Committee, faculty advisors, and the registrar’s office can carefully monitor and assure the progress of a student through the program:
Fall Semester
September–October
Faculty are asked to designate their courses as “data science” courses before pre-registration in November.
Early November
The Program Committee hosts an informational and advisory meeting for interested and current emphasis students to ask questions and learn more about the program. 这是新的和感兴趣的学生通过申请的最佳时机 Interest form 并开始规划他们的重点课程路径.
11月中旬(预注册前)
在注册办公室的协助下, 项目委员会将提供一份有效的, 为即将到来的春季学期指定“数据科学”课程. This list will be posted on this page 并通过邮件列表分享.
11月中旬(预注册结束)
This is the deadline for students in their fifth semester to officially confirm via email with the Program Committee (eds-info-l@g.lightscribecovers.com)表明他们打算继续或停止参与该计划. 学生是否应该说明他们不会继续, 或者不能确认他们会这样做, the student will be removed from the emphasis program and will no longer be able to formally complete the program.
December
The Program Committee will consult with the registrar’s office to confirm if students in their final semester have successfully completed the emphasis.
Spring Semester
February–March
Faculty are asked to designate their courses as “data science” courses before pre-registration in April.
Early April
The Program Committee hosts an informational and advisory meeting for interested and current emphasis students to ask questions and learn more about the program. 这是新的和感兴趣的学生通过申请的最佳时机 Interest form 并开始规划他们的重点课程路径.

Other Academic Options
While the Emphasis in Data Science is an excellent way to incorporate data science content into one’s degree path, there are plenty of academic options available for Harvey Mudd College students – especially since there are a wide variety of courses taught on data scientific topics across The Claremont Colleges. Students may:
- 在相关主题上完成他们的HSA集中.
- 将数据科学专业设计为个人研究项目(IPS).
- Double-major in a Harvey Mudd technical discipline and in data science at another 5C institution.
- 在5c之一的校外完成数据科学专业.
- Complete the requirements of a typical major in data science without entering into a formal program
