- For 2023-2024 school year: announcement that data science may satisfy the required third year or recommended fourth year of the mathematics subject requirement if approved as an advanced mathematics course and a newsletter featuring Explorations in Data Science (includes instructions on how to add the course for 2022-23)
- Please make sure to consult university admission requirements in math if students are considering applying to universities beyond the UC/CSU systems.
- For 2025-2026 school year: High School data science courses are valid Area C mathematics courses under the University of California’s update policies. Data science joins a group of courses- including statistics, discrete math, and computer science-that will not validate Algebra II in future years but do count toward the recommended fourth year of math under Area C of the required A_G course pattern. Students considering STEM careers are recommended to take precalculus under the new guidance. For details see UC’s high school articulation bulletin or slide deck.
