Academic Emphases at Harvey Mudd

Harvey Mudd offers two emphases, Data Science and Environmental Analysis.  An emphasis is a coordinated program of courses in addition to the major that allows students to concentrate on and gain expertise in a specific area of interest. Within each emphasis, students have the opportunity to choose electives that align with their learning goals, acquire specialized knowledge and skills, and gain a range of perspectives within the broader fields of data science or environmental analysis. A completed emphasis appears on a student’s official transcript upon graduating.
