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 take a second 3-credit introduction core course (ENTR 31000, ENTR 31500, or ENTR 32500) 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
- Students will indicate interest in Learning Communities (LCs) and apply during their housing application process. Students will be informed of the status of their LC application in mid-May.
- Roommate selection will occur after LC decisions have been made. If admitted to an LC, students will need to match with other student(s) admitted to the same LC. If not selected for an LC, the student's original housing preferences will be considered during general housing placement and the student will be able to roommate match with other general housing students.
- The location of LC housing will be determined based on the incoming class size and the needs of the learning community.
- For specific question regarding learning communities, email learningcommunities@purdue.edu.
- If you have questions about housing, contact University Residences (https://www.housing.purdue.edu/) at housing@purdue.edu.
