Data Science Specialization Student Regulations<\/h2>\n

In addition to the general regulations stated in the Graduate Calendar<\/a>, students that are part of the Carleton University Institute of Data Science must also abide by the following student regulations:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Students completing a thesis, project, or research essay pathway within the Specialization in Data Science will require a research supervisor affiliated with the specialization. See a listing of such faculty members on our\u00a0faculty webpage<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  2. Any research project\/thesis must have substantial \u201cdata science content\u201d (to be evaluated by your research supervisor).<\/li>\n
  3. Students must register in DATA5000 in their first year to avoid losing their seat in the Specialization.<\/li>\n
  4. DATA5000 project and any research project\/thesis must contain a discussion of ethical considerations related to data science.<\/li>\n
  5. Each DATA5000 project should be presented at Data Day or another public venue.<\/li>\n
  6. DATA5000 projects should be completed in interdisciplinary teams.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    You are encouraged to relay any feedback on the Specialization to the Chair of the Governance Committee or to their Research Supervisor.<\/p>\n
