Our Students Have Something to Say
"When it comes to putting your heart and soul into something, you need to go for it. People can say going back to school is impossible. I have a family and a busy, full-time job. If I can do it, anybody can do it."
— Venmathi Shanmugam, UW Data Science student
As a multi-campus partnership, UW Data Science programs combine the resources of six UW System campuses—UW-Eau Claire, UW-Green Bay, UW-La Crosse, UW-Oshkosh, UW-Stevens Point, and UW-Superior—all coordinated by UW Extended Campus.
"The multi-campus nature of this program allowed us to build a truly interdisciplinary curriculum. In traditional single-campus programs, the data science faculty might be made up mostly of computer science instructors. But because our program draws interested faculty from across the University of Wisconsin System, our instructors bring expertise in computer science, statistics, business management, communication, and more. This broad base of knowledge and experience is a really big benefit of our multi-campus model. No one campus would have been able to offer a program like this on its own."
