Applied Data Science - Penn State

Anyone a current student or have a child at Penn State in the Applied Data Science major in college of IST? Just want to ask a few questions about it, specifically the Application Focus portion.

Hi - my son is a freshman in Applied Data Science. I have some info on the Application Focus based on research of the bulletin – happy to answer questions if I can.

Thanks - first how does he like it? Anything overly challenging? For the application focus is he planning on choosing an existing focus or creating his own? My son is DUS but heavily leaning towards Applied Data Science. Also do you know if AP stats credit counts towards any classes.
