Department of Mathematics and Computer Science
Division of Natural Sciences and Mathematics

The data science minor is a perfect pairing with any major. In your major, you will gain domain expertise, while the data science minor will give you the tools and experience to investigate questions within that domain through the lens of data analysis. You will also be able to critically interogate the role of data and the ethics of data within your chosen field.
