Data can help us to make better decisions.  

Data are abundant but must be interpreted with care. What sets data analysis apart as responsible and insightful? You. Learn to build statistical models and develop the programming skills necessary to draw insightful conclusions from complex data. Then communicate your findings responsibly. Flexible by design, the minor in statistics and data science can be paired with a wide range of majors and you can take courses that connect statistical techniques to fields that interest you.
