Minor in Analytics

Analytics is an interdisciplinary field combining mathematics, computer science and statistics that integrates knowledge needed to draw insights from data. A Minor in Analytics is a valuable complement to majors in the biological sciences, where sophisticated data analysis methods are increasingly common, and researchers with this expertise are in high demand. It is also a valuable addition to students majoring in a business-oriented field (see also the Major in Business Analytics), as businesses increasingly use data analysis, forecasting and optimization techniques to drive efficiency and profit. Students in other majors wishing to supplement and enhance their liberal arts education will find these skills to be broadly applicable and exceptionally marketable.
