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.

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.

The UCSF-UC Berkeley Joint Program in Computational Precision Health (CPH) is a new graduate training and research program that applies computation in real-world settings to improve the quality, efficiency, and equity of medicine and public health. CPH uses novel computational algorithms, tools, and infrastructure to formulate precision problems, develop precision solutions that adapt to time, place, and context, and deploy precision solutions more effectively.
