About our educational partnerships

UC Berkeley's Data Science Undergraduate Studies is dedicated to making high-quality data science education accessible beyond Berkeley. Through partnerships with other institutions, we strive to broaden access and impact.

Our approach to data science education:

  • Empowers student discovery. Through our approachable foundations course and by developing curricula add-ons for other disciplines, we seed opportunities for students to discover this burgeoning field.
  • Bridges disciplines. We view data science as an interdisciplinary field with applications spanning from the sciences to the humanities and we promote connections across these diverse areas. 
  • Integrates human contexts and ethics. Our curricula incorporates human contexts and ethical considerations, equipping students to make responsible and impactful decisions in their careers.

“One of the ways we incorporate ethics is by trying to expose students to a plurality of perspectives. So we want students to hear from people with different perspectives on what it means to engage with data ethically, and so we do this by hosting guest speakers. We encourage students to take classes in a variety of departments around campus. We also try to introduce students to frameworks that can help them think about how to incorporate diverse perspectives in the creation of tech products and policy.” —Mallory Nobles
