I took every stats class my college offered, right now since I do mostly web-based stuff it isn't that helpful, but my first job I was the go between the data science and web teams. I did a lot of implementation of the data scientists ideas for automating their processes. It was incredibly helpful then! I think in general it's so important to emphasize and utilize the intersections of your skills -- domain knowledge on top of programming knowledge helps you communicate and understand the needs of the users/clients better.
