The Honors College  > Data and Society Minor

The Data and Society minor combines critical thinking with real world engagement to create relevant skills for interpreting and understanding data science. Students will gain a basic understanding of data science approaches and how they impact humanities-informed decision-making. The humanities emphasis allows students to see the broad social impact of data science, including how the new techniques are embedded in broader economic and political systems, while the integration of basic data analytics techniques and a project-based curriculum engages the students in basic skills acquisition and exposes them to the best use of data science to address important challenges in today’s world.

As with all minors in the Honors College, the courses are grounded in cross-disciplinary approaches open to all students, regardless of affiliation.
