Academics

Data Science Undergraduate Studies provides a diverse range of opportunities for students of all majors to engage and lead in data science. We have empowered undergraduates to help develop curriculum, take on substantive research, etc. Hundreds of students every semester engage as full partners in curriculum design, research, advising, and communications.

Our top-ranked programs attract stellar students and professors from around the world, who pioneer the frontiers of information science and technology with broad impact on society. Underlying our success are a strong tradition of collaboration, close ties to industry, and a supportive culture.

The School of Information is UC Berkeley’s newest professional school. Located in the center of campus, the I School is a graduate research and education community committed to expanding access to information and to improving its usability, reliability, and credibility while preserving security and privacy. This requires the insights of scholars from diverse fields — information and computer science, design, social sciences, management, law, and policy.

We are a community engaged in research and education in probability and statistics. In addition to developing fundamental theory and methodology, we are actively involved in statistical problems that arise in such diverse fields as molecular biology, geophysics, astronomy, AIDS research, neurophysiology, sociology, political science, education, demography, and the U.S. Census.
