About the Program

When was the Data Science program established at W&L?

Fall, 2019 by a group of W&L faculty from disciplines all across the University

Why study data science at W&L?

• The overarching goal of the minor is to allow students to complement their discipline-specific skills and knowledge with a deeper understanding of how to analyze and extract meaning from data to learn more about the world, society and their discipline.  
• We wish to prepare students to be excellent data analysts in their major disciplines and to be prepared effectively with data after graduation.
• Join the Data Science program to become part of community that loves data.
• Every year, W&L hosts DataCon, where people from all corners of industry come to discuss the impacts of data science on industry and the world.
