Data Science Minor

Virtually every organization collects and analyzes data about its users, logistics and operations. But collecting the data is just the first step – employers are in need of employees with the skills to navigate, analyze and interpret these complex datasets.

The data science minor at UNI prepares students with the analytical and computational skills needed to thrive in the world of big data.

Coursework integrates computer programming, machine learning, statistics, predictive modeling and visualization to provide students with broad based skills for extracting gainful information from data that originate from a variety of sources. A final project (ideally with corporate or non-profit partnerships) will ensure that students employ their skills to solve a real-world problem.

The Data Science minor is an interdisciplinary program administered by the computer science, physics and mathematics departments.
