The Data Mine - Entrepreneurship
The Entrepreneurship Data Mine learning community will focus on the connections between data science and entrepreneurship. In the fall semester, students will take a 3-credit Introduction to Entrepreneurship and Innovation course simultaneously with a 1-credit Data Mine Seminar course. In the spring semester, students will transition to a Data Mine Corporate Partners project centered around entrepreneurship simultaneously with a 1-credit Data Mine Seminar course.
All courses in this learning community contribute credit towards the Certificate in Entrepreneurship and Innovation, and the 1-credit Seminar also contributes credit towards the Applications in Data Science Certificate. See the website for the Certificate in Entrepreneurship and Innovation here.
This learning community is separate from "Entrepreneurship and Innovation Learning Community (optional living)". View details for this unique group here.
Eligibility
Open to any undergraduate student with an interest in the Data Sciences
Residential Component
- Required. The location of learning community housing will be determined based on the incoming size and needs of the learning community.
