Data Analysis

Blending statistics and computing to develop methods that support data analysis, this interdisciplinary minor might really catch your interest if you’re majoring in business, finance, or economics. If you’re considering research that involves quantitative thinking, this minor can give you an edge when applying to graduate schools. GC’s liberal arts foundation combines beautifully with data analysis, which benefits from more than just math and computing skills—you’ll also need strong writing and interpersonal skills. Plus, data analysis isn’t just academic; it can even help predict and prevent fires, as well as identify the sources of fires and arson!
