First Year and Pre-Major Programs (FYPP) is the home of our first and second year (or pre-major) students at UW Bothell. We are the first place to turn for all of your academic needs, from scheduling classes and meeting faculty, to discussing your future career goals.
The UW Bothell interdisciplinary Data Analytics minor will introduce students to techniques for making sense of data. This includes methods for collecting, organizing, visualizing data, while also carefully considering critiques of and the social and ethical context for such methods. Core courses in the minor emphasize hands-on and project-based learning. Graduates of the minor will be prepared to communicate across domains, and develop tools to reason quantitatively with data to address questions. It is intended for students who wish to complement their primary area of study with an interdisciplinary focus on using data for conducting research or for evaluating programs or policies.
Aside from the required statistics prerequisite (see Admission Requirements) there is no additional recommended preparation.
This minor requires statistics as a prerequisite for the minor. Currently this can be filled using one of several courses: BIS 215 (Understanding Statistics), B BUS 215 (Intro to Business Statistics), B MATH 215 (Statistics for Health Sciences), or STMATH 341 (Intro to Statistical Inference).
