Data Science Undergraduate Studies Advising Week
Unlock Your Potential in Data Science!
Are you a declared or prospective Data Science major or minor at UC Berkeley? Don’t miss our upcoming Advising Week—a unique opportunity to enhance your academic journey, explore hands-on opportunities, and connect with peers and mentors in the field.
Originally envisioned as a one-week event, the overwhelming enthusiasm from faculty and staff has transformed "Advising Week" into a full-blown student success series running from Oct 15–29.
What to Expect:
- Academic Planning: Get insight into how to choose among key upper-division classes to align with your goals.
- Prepare for Your Future: Engage in information sessions on graduate school preparation, research, and internships tailored specifically for Data Science students.
- Community Building: Meet faculty, staff, and peers, and build meaningful connections.
With over 2,000 students in the Data Science major and nearly 700 minors, this is your chance to thrive in a vibrant community that supports your academic and career goals.
Attendees can enter raffles to win exclusive College of Computing, Data Science, and Society or Data Science Undergraduate Studies swag! Events will not be recorded.
