Tennessee vs. South Carolina

It’s available at Georgia Tech. Look under Industrial engineering (ISyE). My S20 is weighing which tract to choose.

I’m in Analytics. Data Science is a new major and can be housed in the Business School, CS or engineering. I would be apprehensive about majoring specifically in Data Science or Analytics. It’s an unknown quantity and quality.

I like GT’s approach of putting it under IE. I also liked the schools that housed it in the business school. A double major of business and math/stats would do just as well. Maybe even better. Everyone understands a BS In math or finance.

Right now physics seems to be the hot major for analytics. Some of the best data scientists I’ve worked with majored in physics.

Full disclosure. I did my MBA at South Carolina many years ago so I’m a little biased.
