Directory of Academic Degrees & Certificate Programs in Data Science

Last update: Sunday 10/7/18

DLL Editor's note -- Data Science is a rapidly growing profession with strong academic roots. But most current practitioners do not have academic certificates or degrees in data science. This demographic is likely to undergo a substantial redistribution as more universities offer certificates, bachelors, masters, and doctoral degrees in this field.


The initial version of this directory  was extracted from the comprehensive interactive map of Data Science and related programs maintained by North Carolina State University's Institute for Advanced Analytics (ISA). The following list only includes Data Science programs, whereas ISA's directory also includes programs offered in related fields. The list has been updated whenever notices of new data science programs have appeared.
