Our program’s faculty is one of its greatest strengths. You won’t find another data science program—online or otherwise—that brings such diverse expertise together in one place. That’s because the Master of Science in Data Science is a collaboration between UW Extended Campus and six UW System campuses—UW-Eau Claire, UW-Green Bay, UW-La Crosse, UW-Oshkosh, UW-Stevens Point, and UW-Superior.

All courses in this online program are developed and taught by University of Wisconsin Data Science faculty—the same faculty who teach our on-campus courses.
