Substitutions

Stated by the catalog on this program's requirements:

• A thesis is required for all students who receive financial support from the university in the form of a research, teaching, or tuition assistantship. The thesis topic should cover one or more of the areas from statistics, mathematics, optimization, data mining, machine learning, database design, Big Data, visualization tools, or forecasting methods. The thesis should train students for research in data and operations analytics and/or prepare them for a doctoral program.

Possible equivalents for this program beyond the above — dashed means a suggestion, not a rule, and every substitution needs your advisor's approval:

• ME 5250 ↔ ME 5659 (tier A, from a catalog footnote)
