A direct-entry SDS student in first year will take six core courses in SDS disciplines, one communication requirement (ARTS 160), and electives (courses of your choice). This template applies if students wish to take the max course-load each term (5); if a lower course load is required, please contact your first-year academic advisor for tips.

What happens next?
In second year you should take the required statistics (SDS 250R) and research methods (SDS 251R) courses, and be sure you're tracking degree requirements relevant to your starting year.
SDS is a flexible degree with lots of room to tailor your elective choices. You may wish to pursue an SDS specialization if looking for greater focus within the major, an external minor or double-major, or simply take courses that interest you!
