Data Science - Minor
About This Minor
Data Science is an interdisciplinary field that includes the management, analysis, and visualization of data to make the best possible evidence-based decisions, and draws primarily from the fields of Statistics and Computer Science.
Scientists and engineers in today’s workforce have vast amounts of data available to them, but too often they do not have sufficient Data Science expertise to make full use of the data. With so much of today’s STEM innovation being data-driven, expertise in collecting, analyzing, and operationalizing data is critical to industry success.
What You Will Learn
The primary audience for this minor is students in STEM majors, who will enter the workforce with core science skills, and this Data Science minor will strengthen their ability to create Data Science tools and utilize them to add value in the workforce.
