Degrees & Programs Data Analytics
Learn how to apply mathematical techniques and understanding to large sets of data to help make decisions in a wide range of industries and organizations.
Professors in the mathematics, computer science, and economics and business departments collaborated in creating this interdisciplinary major in the context of a liberal arts program to provide a more humanistic perspective. Your study begins with a foundation in calculus, statistics, research and forecasting, microeconomics or accounting, computational problems, and concrete systems, and then moves into classes on database design, machine learning, management science and game theory. Employers increasingly seek graduates with expertise in data analytics.

The second annual Yale Africa Innovation Symposium brought together African innovators and public leaders to discuss the ways the next generation of Africans could steer the continent forward.
During the closing ceremony, Innovation Lab groups presented their resolution slideshows, which aimed to tackle the problem in their lab case studies. David Oyebade, a second-year student at Westmont College, who participated in the “Developing a Digital Transformation Strategy for Ghana” lab, told the News that he had not realized just how practical the solutions would be.
Oyebade told the News that he left the event with a better understanding of the problem his group was solving.
“I felt like I was challenged to come to conclusions myself based on the material that I’ve been presented,” Oyebade noted.
