Computing, Data Science and Society at Berkeley
Our lives and our society are being changed by computing, statistics, and data science: the platforms on which we innovate, communicate, transact, make decisions, and allocate resources. At Berkeley, we believe computing and data science are for everyone. We need diverse perspectives, experiences, and expertise to ensure research and applications represent the needs and interests of society.
The College of Computing, Data Science, and Society (CDSS) is the first new college at UC Berkeley in more than 50 years. Our vision is to:
Educate all students to approach data ethically and masterfully
Advance the state-of-the-art in the core of computing, data science, and statistics
Found new fields bringing computing and data science together with other disciplines
Make sustained progress on issues of human and societal significance
The Gateway
This dynamic new UC Berkeley hub convenes and connects faculty, researchers, and students across the college, enabling AI-driven discovery and interdisciplinary collaboration.
College Milestones
Berkeley’s impact in computing and data science research and education is transforming the field. The college collaborates with partners across campus and beyond to develop inclusive educational pathways and innovative data-based solutions to real-world problems.
Equity and Inclusion
The college aims to make computing and data science inviting and engaging for people of diverse identities, backgrounds, experiences and perspectives.
