The ASA has been seeking to help two-year colleges in their considerations to offer data science/analytics courses or start
data science/analytics programs. As part of the effort, we compiled an informal and incomplete list of such programs. The recent query to ASA Connect spurs me to share our list and also ask for help to make it more complete.
The NSF has funded an ASA proposal to host the
Two-Year College Data Science Summit, May 10-11, 2018 in Washington, DC. Please visit the website to learn more.
The data science/analytics courses or programs at two-year colleges of which we are aware are the following. Please let me know what we're missing and I'll update this list.
- Bismarck State College, ND; Data Analytics Technician
