Minor in Data Science

Data, or a collection of facts about the world around us, is an increasingly important feature of daily life; whether it’s the data we generate through our actions or the data we capture and use. This data is increasingly being captured and put to use as information to understand trends and make predictions in human behavior, society, and the environment. These understandings are crucial to our ability to make informed recommendations and decisions regarding our futures and that of society.
