Data Science, Minor

For Fall 2023* entry and beyond.

Data science is the confluence of mathematical reasoning, programming skills and content expertise. Whatever your major, a data science minor focuses on the technical skills to apply your content knowledge to solving real problems using large scale data sets. Over the six required courses you will learn the fundamentals of computer programming and data analytics, gain an ability to design quantitative experiments, use critical thinking to ask questions of large data sets, solve computational and real world problems use machine learning algorithms, assess the importance of checking for bias in data-driven decision-making, and develop data visualizations that are clear and valuable to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

The Data Science minor may not be awarded with a Data Science degree.
