Digital Culture and Data Analytics
Digital Culture and Data Analytics (DCDA) is an interdisciplinary set of programs designed for students with an interest in how digital technologies shape, analyze and articulate contemporary culture.
The Bachelor of Science major in Digital Culture and Data Analytics requires 33 semester hours of course work passed with a grade of “C-”. A minor in any field is required (unless student has a second major).
Students minoring in digital culture and data analytics complete 21 hours of coursework: four required courses and a choice of three additional courses from an approved list. Students take no more than two courses from any single discipline. For the minor, a minimum of 9 hours at the upper division is required. Students who major or minor in Digital Culture and Data Analytics must choose whether DCDA-approved courses approved for other major or minor programs will count toward their DCDA program or for the other program. With the exception of the courses that satisfy the Statistics requirement, no course may count for both.
Once the requirements are satisfied, other courses from that same core category will count as electives.
Given that the DCDA program is supported by 15 other departments at TCU, the program director will work with and accept the determinations of the department whose discipline a transfer credit falls under. Further, the program director will work with students directly in terms of approving study abroad courses for the DCDA program. Students will not be allowed to place out of major requirements, nor will there be opportunities to receive course credit for examination.
