Data Analytics Minor

Overview:

Empower data-driven decision making.

As data and technology become increasingly fundamental to how businesses operate, understanding how to derive, communicate, and apply data-driven insights to organizational problems is an in-demand skill set that will give you an advantage over other graduates in your field.

Every industry and profession needs graduates who can use data to deepen their knowledge, further their research, and make better business decisions. That is why our minor in Data Analytics is open to all students at Syracuse University outside of the iSchool, regardless of college or major.

2. Demonstrate the ability to examine how individuals, organizations, and society are created and impacted by data and machine learning models.
