Data Science
Field Description
The minor field of data science prepares students to work on data-intensive applications. Many employers actively seek applicants with data science skills and minoring in data science will widen a student’s set of career paths substantially.
Students take courses in four areas: computation, statistical modeling and inference, optimization, and ethical, legal, and policy issues. The DGS will maintain a list of courses in each of these areas. The courses that a student uses towards the minor must be in at least two of the four areas, and no more than two courses in any one of the areas can be used towards the minor.
A Ph.D. student minors in the field of data science by adding a faculty member in the field as a minor member of the student’s committee.
Learning Outcomes
- Demonstrated ability to extract meaningful information from complex data sets and quantify uncertainty about that information.
- Demonstrated ability to apply data science techniques, e.g., statistical analysis and computation, to the student’s major.
- Awareness of ethical, legal, and policy issues pertaining to Data Science.
