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.
