Pitt & Coursera online master’s in data science

Why Pitt and Coursera are launching an online master’s degree program in data science

“School of Computing and Information Dean Bruce Childers said the partners aimed to remove as many barriers as possible to give adult learners the chance to explore technical interests.”

“Data science is among the fastest-growing fields in the US.

Now, after a year of planning, University of Pittsburgh has become one of the few local institutions offering an online master’s degree in data science through a collaboration with online education platform Coursera.

According to School of Computing and Information Dean Bruce Childers, the 30-credit program is designed to be as inclusive and accessible as possible. Participation does not require a STEM-related degree, graduate school or even an application — measures that university and Coursera leaders feel remove barriers that tend to keep adult learners from continuing their education.”
