Knox Students Win Honorable Mention in DataFest Competition
Participating students were provided with a set of data and an associated challenge.
For better or worse, you live in a world that’s awash in data. And the future will belong to people who can make sense of it.
A data science major or minor is an excellent complement to a business, computer science, or economics degree. It’s also the gateway to a growing number of career options.
This is a challenging and deeply interdisciplinary program. You’ll need a strong understanding of calculus, statistical modeling, programming, and algorithmic structure—but once you master the tools, you can explore questions in any discipline, from healthcare to sports management.
If you're interested in mathematics, computer science, and statistics AND in tune with ethical issues and fields of application, data science is a perfect match. We address human impacts as well as numbers. Problems in data science also require different modes of thinking to solve. What could be a better use of the liberal arts than that!
Data science is the newest major at Knox—but it’s also one of the fastest growing fields in the country. Many students pursue a second major in economics, psychology, or computer science.
