Participating departments in the IGERT program have all defined a Big Data PhD track, which articulates how the IGERT requirements map to the department's requirements without creating any additional burden. In some departments, these Big Data tracks go beyond this mapping.
UPDATE: An official Advanced Data
Science Option has been approved and qualifying
coursework will now be noted on transcripts! This will
replace the Big Data Tracks, which are not
transcripted.
