that's a good detail. it's interesting to hear about how the program syllabi are evolving as the domain largely moves towards deploying existing models and infrastructure rather than having to invent new tooling from scratch.

for me, i think it was mostly a quirk in the programming of the concentration launch. my wife has the same degree from a year earlier (but before concentrations were a thing) and did have the database course requirement.

my degree is "information studies with a concentration in data science". i graduated in 2018 which was maybe the peak Big Data hotness era. i took classes on c++, java, but only really 'learned' R. somehow, i managed to not have to take the database class so i had to do a udemy course for sql.
