The data science degrees are essentially a vocational program for the students that would not be successful tackling the CS/math program.

People who major in CS/math are usually great data engineers but terrible data scientists. They don’t understand how to ask questions the right way, experimental design, how to evaluate the evidence. They are often more focused on the technical aspects and lack the domain knowledge. I strongly encourage my students to get a minor in a natural or social science for this reason.
