Course Prerequisites:
| Course | Prerequisites |
| DATA110 | DATA minor fundamental statistics prerequisite |
| DATA120 | DATA minor fundamental statistics prerequisite |
| DATA200 | DATA minor fundamental statistics prerequisite |
| DATA250 | DATA110 or DATA120; and MATH141 |
| DATA320 | DATA110 or DATA120; and DATA200 and DATA250 |

| DATA400 | MATH141 |
- In the DATA minor all course prerequisites are strictly enforced
- The DATA Minor Fundamental Statistics Prerequisite refers to DATA100, or STAT100, or MATH135, or any 400-level STAT course (i.e., a statistics course offered by the STAT program at CMNS) or their UMD-approved equivalents: ENEE324, BIOE372, SURV410,
SURV440 - MATH141 is not a prerequisite for the DATA minor, but it is a prerequisite for DATA250 and DATA400
- We don’t accept co-requisites
For Students with the DATA Minor Fundamental Statistics Prerequisite consisting of:
DATA400, STAT400, ENEE324, STAT410, or SURV410
If DATA400, STAT400, ENEE324, STAT410 or SURV410 is used as a prerequisite to join the minor, then another 400-level STAT course or CMSC498Y must be taken in lieu of the DATA400 requirement.
Every student in the DATA minor must complete two STAT courses, one as a prerequisite and one in lieu of the DATA400 requirement.
