Minor in Econometrics and Data Analytics

About the Minor

The Econometrics and Data Analytics minor provides a solid background for students interested in quantitative analysis and causal inference; i.e., identifying and estimating the effect of changes in the economic environment on the behavior of individuals and firms. This minor provides strong complementarity for students majoring in fields including but not restricted to business, data science, engineering, finance, global studies, law, marketing, and political and social sciences more generally. The minor is especially useful for students interested in pursuing careers with a quantitative focus.

Admission Requirements

Must be enrolled in a full time program.

Students are required to declare a major before declaring a minor. Students admitted directly into a specific major at the time of matriculation may declare a minor beginning in their second semester. All requirements for the minor must be completed either concurrently with or prior to the completion of the primary major requirements. This ensures that students fulfill the expectations of their primary field of study while completing any additional areas of academic specialization.
