Data Science and Intelligence Minor (for Non-SBA Majors only)


Students who are majoring outside the School of Business Administration Business Programs may benefit from an opportunity to take a series of courses in business to enhance their academic programs. To provide this option, the School of Business Administration (SBA) has approved a series of structured minor programs that provide a sequence of courses that will enrich other disciplines, can be monitored by the administrative staff, and meet AACSB guidelines.

Students outside the School of Business Administration Business Programs may not take more than 24 credits in business (excluding EC 101 and EC 202, which count toward the general education requirement).

Students working toward a minor in business must take at least 15 credits from the School of Business Administration Business Programs (residency requirement).

Designed for students with an interest in analytics, intelligent systems, and data-driven decision-making, this minor explores how organizations collect, manage, analyze, and leverage data to inform strategic outcomes. The program provides a foundational understanding of data science, artificial intelligence, and business intelligence, equipping students with the analytical and technological competencies necessary to transform data into actionable insights and support evidence-based decision-making.

Total Credits: 16
