Administration requested MS programs
Computer Sci, Math put heads together
Nat/Phys sciences not interested yet
Business wanted Data Analytics
Minor first: “Data Science”
Hope to spawn 2 MS programs:
– Computational Science
– Data Analytics

Future at University of Mary Washington
• Minor begins this semester
• Trying to bring scientists (and soc sci) on board
– 109: extension of NCSI workshop
– two-day workshop last Dec.
– Tried 2-day workshop in spring, but…
• VA’s governor pushing mod & sim…

Common Challenges
• So many courses required unless they are
specialized
• Not enough faculty to create/run specialized
courses
• Need enough students to run specialized
courses
• Cooperation between depts
• Never enough funding from administration
We’re trying anyway!!!
