Data Science Minor
The five courses of the Data Sciences minor augment a technical degree in Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science, Mathematics, or Engineering. They cultivate skill development in advanced analytics, artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, mathematics, and statistics. The formal application of these technical skills allows one to uncover insights hidden in an organization’s data and more soundly guide decision-making and strategic planning.
While 15 credits of coursework are required to fulfill this minor, some required courses may have prerequisites that effectively increase the total credits required to attain the minor to more than 15. However, some majors will have the option to choose a course that is required by their major, such as the statistics course or the elective course. This will eliminate extra prerequisites and reduce the credit requirement of the minor to fewer than 15 credits.

Computer Science Minor
The Computer Science Minor is designed to augment the skills of students majoring in chemistry, mathematics, as well as those students outside of the Kinsley School of Engineering Science and Technology with inclination and strength in this area. Students can greatly broaden their post-graduate horizons through this minor, by adding computing facility to the proficiencies gained through their major program. A maximum of 9 credits from a student’s major can be used to fulfill the CS minor requirements.
Mathematics Minor
By completing the mathematics minor, you will enhance your mathematics aptitude and expand your mathematics experience, and thereby position yourself to undertake a wider array of front-line creative endeavors in your field.
Computer Engineering
Computer engineers draw upon mathematics, science and computer science to design computer or microprocessor controlled devices, systems and processes. At York College, we focus on embedded systems, which are customized, standalone systems under computer/microprocessor control. You’ll get to work right away with the first year design project — learning by doing is how we approach education.
