Overview

Two individuals are in a modern gaming space. One person, wearing glasses and a plaid shirt, stands holding a small plate with a drink. The other person, in a black shirt with a plaid overshirt, is focused on a computer screen displaying a game. Behind them are vintage arcade machines and a shelf filled with board games. The room is dimly lit, with a soft overhead light illuminating the workspace.

The minor in Coding and Data equips students with the foundational and applied skills to function effectively in our computationally and data-driven world: from understanding AI to computing for arts and humanities. The minor builds essential skills in programming, data analysis, and coding for the arts. It provides a grounding in coding and data literacy, complementing any major field of study.

A young woman with short hair, wearing glasses and a black top, smiles while working on a computer at a desk. She uses a mouse and keyboard, with a monitor displaying a design interface. The background features a partially visible orange device and large windows letting in natural light.
