There are plenty of opportunities for data analytics students to interact with each other and others with similar interests. One way our students network is through the economics club — where students discuss monetary theory, game theory and other exciting areas of economics.

Students also have access to the Peter M. & Paula Green Johnson Student Success Center — a common space for all students located in the College of Business.

Unique Data Analytics Courses

The data analytics minor includes a wide variety of unique courses for students to choose from.

One of those courses is called computational economics, which is an introduction to computational tools used to analyze economic data and policies. This course teaches students how to formulate economic models in order to conduct analyses of consumer behavior, markets, trade and state and local fiscal administration.

Lab Experiments

Here at UW, we believe hands-on experience is the best way to learn. As  a data analytics minor, you’ll have plenty of experiential learning opportunities.

The College of Business is home to The Teton Lab, which enables students to conduct in-person and online experiments and surveys. The lab consists of 40 subject stations, 4 breakout rooms and a dual projector system.
