Economics and data science is an interdisciplinary major that prepares students to work in an economy that has been transformed by the emergence of digital commerce and massive amounts of data. Coursework in data science teaches students how to manage, manipulate, and parse data to extract knowledge and insight.

Through the study of economics, students learn how the design of platforms shapes incentives, drives behavior, and determines social and economic outcomes including equity and efficiency. Students also learn how data may be used for predictive or causal analysis to inform business decisions or public policy.
