I am a Ph.D. candidate in higher education conducting research to help improve undergraduate data science curricula, program offerings, and organizational structure. My survey is for undergraduate (bachelor's degree) data science degree programs' educators or administrators. Please feel free to share this survey with relevant colleagues at your institution and beyond; I welcome a diversity of perspectives.
My survey has 20 questions and is divided into four sections on the following topics:
- Curricula, including mathematics/statistics, computer science, domain, and ethics
- Administrative structure
- Fostering of transdisciplinarity
- Integration of transfer students
- Training formats
- Basic demographics
Here's the link to the survey: https://forms.gle/wRACmLCUjHt3RvoD6. In my reporting, your responses will be anonymous except for the institution and department for analysis purposes. I appreciate your participation in my research that will contribute to knowledge management on data science education practice across higher education institutions.
An Institutional Review Board responsible for human subjects research at The University of Arizona reviewed this research project and found it to be acceptable according to applicable state and federal regulations and University policies designed to protect the rights and welfare of participants in research.
