Data Science Minor

https://ceps.unh.edu/computer-science/program/minor/data-science

The objective of this minor is to provide a basic background in data science for those who are more interested in the theoretical underpinnings of analytics and data science.

For more information, contact Matthew Magnusson, program coordinator and minor supervisor, at matthew.magnusson@unh.edu

Students must complete five courses (20 credits) with a cumulative minimum grade point average of 2.0 and with no grade below a C- grade. Transfer course approval for the minor is limited to at most, two relevant courses successfully completed at another accredited institution, subject to syllabi review and approval. Some preparation in MATH 425: Calculus I and programming (CS 415: Introduction to Computer Science I, or COMP 425: Introduction to Programming) is required.
