The Undergraduate Minor of Data Science in Analytics and Decision-Making is a 15 credit interdisciplinary credential that offers a path towards developing essential skills in data science with depth in Industrial and Systems Engineering (ISE) content. Students who pursue this minor will have the opportunity to learn from data science instructors & practitioners and ISE faculty in industry and academia, alongside their peers from various colleges. Students will pursue courses in data management, communication, applications, ethics, engineering, and more, in addition to choosing from electives of interest.
