Students in the Data Science Minor will gain literacy and fluency in data science methods and understand their implications for society and the world. This Minor helps students leverage familiarity with data science in fields outside of data science, and gain skills and fluency to work with data in their major domain of study. Graduates of the Minor will be ready to work in emergent “translator” roles on heterogeneous teams comprised of data scientists and domain experts. For example, students will be poised to provide expertise in policy, design, social theory, ethics, etc. on a data science team. This Minor serves as a stepping stone toward acquiring more advanced skills and degrees in data science.

The Minor in Leadership provides a formalized pathway for students to study and develop competencies for leadership in their professional and public lives. Designed to make explicit the often implicit teaching and learning of leadership, this interdisciplinary minor offers a framework that combines explicit leadership teaching, practice, and reflection. This minor supports students' unique leadership development paths through a combination of required and self-determined courses that leverage course offerings throughout the university community.
