MDAT - Minor in Data Analytics

Baccalaureate degree students may select a minor in a different field of study to complement their major.  An academic minor allows students to expand their educational experience by exploring a particular subject or subjects in sufficient depth to gain competency. By completing a minor, a student can become familiar with an additional area of study which will supplement the expertise gained in the major.

The minor in data analytics is designed to provide students with fundamental knowledge of the field of data analytics and equip them with the tools to apply basic data analysis techniques to their major field of study. With an increased demand for data-driven decision making, students of all majors will be prepared to critically analyze data in order to address real-world problems.

Core IMPACTS general educations courses and required courses within the major cannot dually count for the minor, but "Field of Study" courses and elective courses within the major can also count for the minor.  If a course is required by name for both the major and minor, then students should take an additional course in the minor to reach the required minimum of 15 credits for a minor.
