The minor in data science studies the collection, manipulation, storage, retrieval, and computational analysis of data in its various forms, including numeric, textual, image, and video data from small to large volumes.
Note: Khoury minors are only available to non-Khoury majors; students in Khoury-only or Khoury-combined degrees are not eligible for Khoury minors. A student may receive at most one Khoury minor, regardless of how many Khoury minors they qualify for.
Complete all courses listed below unless otherwise indicated. Also complete any corequisite labs, recitations, clinicals, or tools courses where specified.

Khoury Meaningful Minors
The concept of “Khoury Meaningful Minors” allows students the chance to personalize a computer science minor to meet individual academic needs and interests. Students may take one elective related to computation or information from a preapproved list of courses offered across the university rather than from within Khoury. This allows students to integrate the minor with a course in their own major or with a course in another area of interest. Students may of course choose to take all electives in the minor within Khoury if they wish.
