Description
The ability to work with numbers and data is critical to the modern workforce. Every area of business, science, entertainment and, increasingly, the nonprofit sector, is becoming more data-driven. The Data Analytics Major prepares graduates to add value to any organization through quantitative decision-making from both structured and unstructured data. As more industries embrace big data and analytics, skills in areas such as data science, statistics, programming, modeling, and data mining are becoming more important. Through a combination of mathematics, statistics, and computing courses - including intensive, hands-on work with R, Python, and SQL - our Data Analytics graduates will not only understand key concepts and techniques, but will also know how to apply them and communicate results to the modern business world.
