Program Description

The Data Science and Analytics minor prepares students to translate data into information to support and improve decision making in any discipline. This Minor has been developed to assist KSU students in three ways:

Students will differentiate themselves in a competitive job market after graduation by learning knowledge and developing skills in advanced data science and analytics courses.
Students can engage in undergraduate research, internships, and/or cooperative study, strengthening their employability after graduation.
Students can also prepare for graduate degrees in computational, analytical, business, or professional fields.

The minor welcomes students from any major at KSU and is especially relevant to students who are looking for an applied analytical skill set to add to their knowledge from their chosen major.

Pre-requisite: STAT 1401 or ECON 2300 or STAT 3125 or STAT 2332 or MATH 3332
