Every course in the curriculum integrates skills and knowledge that prepares the student to think more critically and through a more peripherally focused lens. This requirement highlights not only our college’s liberal arts tradition but more importantly, our understanding of industry and how to help you distinguish yourself professionally.

Examples of assignments that require you to think broadly include:

Imagine you're the Chief Analytics Officer for your organization. In this role, you have been asked to write a code of conduct that all data analysts must adhere to. Write this code of ethics for your data analytics organization.

Students will provide a reflection on when data collection enriches a solution and when it becomes a violation of personal privacy.
