We want you solving real-world challenges across industries — not just analyzing data, but improving the systems that rely on it.
There's Strength in Numbers
Job opportunities for data analysts are proliferating as data analytics spreads from the tech sector to agriculture, finance, nonprofits, government, and manufacturing.
Working with social data has great potential to improve the efficiency and quality of a wide range of services and products across tech, nonprofit, government, and healthcare, making jobs that require a master's degree in data and computational science in high demand.
Launch your data-driven career or connect with mission-driven graduate talent.
“Our career development courses help students design careers that align with their values, strengths, and aspirations - so they leave with clarity, confidence, and a personalized roadmap for what's next.”
– Rachel Ann Williams, Lecturer
