DRAKE UNIVERSITY


TRANSFER PATHWAYS GUIDE: ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE, COMPUTER SCIENCE, DATA, MATH, AND QUANTITATIVE ECON
All of these programs are housed in the College of Arts & Sciences. There are many courses in common across these majors. View Drake's catalog for more details on each of these programs.

Drake accepts the DMACC Mathematics Transfer Major. Please use the following guide to identify appropriate course choices, such as for calculus and statistics, if you are pursuing a transfer major. Students are not required to take any or all of these courses in order to transfer to Drake but may use this as a guide to take applicable coursework for these degree programs.

Using Drake's Transfer Pathways Guides
Many courses from DMACC transfer to Drake; check TES for additional transfer course details. The courses listed here are required in the following majors and can be completed either before or after transfer to Drake. Students are encouraged to work with their DMACC advisor to develop a plan that utilizes as many of these courses as possible to satisfy core and elective requirements for their degree program.

General Education Articulation Agreement
Drake honors Associate of Arts (AA degrees) and Associate of Sciences (AS degrees) from the state of Iowa community college system, including Des Moines Area Community College, to complete Drake's general education curriculum (known as the Areas of Inquiry). Students must complete 60 transferable credits with a minimum 2.0 GPA to qualify.

Reverse transfer to complete the AA or AS with one or two Drake courses is also possible. If you have questions, please discuss this possibility with a Drake Admission Counselor or a DMACC advisor.

Artificial Intelligence
The Artificial Intelligence major requires Statistics I, Computer Science I and Computer Science II. Students can take either Intro to Psychology (available at DMACC) or Intro to Neuroscience after transferring to Drake.

Computer Science
Drake offers both a BA and BS in Computer Science. The core Computer Science coursework is the same. Students who desire a more scientific emphasis will complete additional math and science coursework for the BS.

Two possible combinations of courses will transfer as IS 145. Students seeking to earn that transfer credit should take one set of those courses, either in CIS or WDV, as listed, rather than mixing and matching.

Data Analytics Required Courses
Although Statistics 1 is not a required course in the Data Analytics major, it is recommended that DMACC students take it, because it serves as a pre-requisite for many courses in the major. The other courses listed are required for both the BS and BSBA majors in Data Analytics.

Quantitative Economics (BA)
Quantitative Economics offers integrated study in mathematics, statistics, and economics. The program is designed to prepare students for graduate study in economics (M.A. or Ph.D. programs) or business (Ph.D. programs or quantitatively oriented M.B.A. programs). The program also prepares students for research-oriented jobs in government, business, or consulting. The BA in Quantitative Economics is awarded in the College of Arts & Sciences; it does not require the business core curriculum, unlike the BSBA.
