Georgetown’s Data Science & Analytics program prepares you for your next step through hands-on experience. We value using real-world data, and our courses integrate it directly into the classroom. Beyond coursework, students can also find rich opportunities to conduct and participate in research. In particular, the program houses the DSAN AI Measurement and Data Science Lab, led by a tenured faculty member, which provides students with mentorship and collaborative opportunities on cutting-edge projects. In addition, our students are regularly selected as scholars in Georgetown’s Massive Data Institute (MDI), an interdisciplinary research center focused on data and public policy.
