Students in lounges and hallways of Millikan Hall.
Students majoring in any discipline now have a new option for a minor: data science. A new offering this fall at Pomona, the data science minor will help student develop skills in using and analyzing data. All data science minors will have to complete five courses, one in each of the core areas —programming, statistics, data science, ethics, and linear algebra courses—by the end of their junior year.
Among the data science minor faculty are mathematicians, economists, psychologists and biologists who will use an interdisciplinary approach to enable students to extract and communicate meaningful insights about data.
