Happy New Year! Here is info about the new data science guidelines:
Curriculum Guidelines for Undergraduate Programs in Data Science Members of the Park City
Math Institute 2016 Summer Undergraduate Faculty Program met to compose guidelines for
undergraduate programs in data science. The group consisted of 25 undergraduate faculty
from a variety of institutions in the United States, primarily from the mathematics,
statistics, and computer science disciplines. These guidelines—endorsed by the ASA Board
of Directors—are meant to provide structure for institutions planning for or revising a
major in data science and will appear in a forthcoming issue of the Annual Review of
Statistics .
You can find the guidelines at

ASA Board endorsing them at
