Data Science Program Survey - University of the Philippines Open University

The University of the Philippines Open University (UPOU) is developing a ladderized program in Data Science. Depending on their track, graduates may earn either a Graduate Certificate or Master in Data Science.

The proposed program will have an interdisciplinary approach to Data Science, taking into consideration computing science, social science, humanities, and design. Though it will offer specializations, the program will focus on the application of data science in education and development. It will equip its graduates with a basic understanding of the key technologies in data science and relevant fields; knowledge in management and preservation of data; problem solving skills that foster computational and data-analytic thinking; and knowledge in ethical standards and scientific principles related to the use of data and technology for effective data representation and communication.

In line with this, we’d appreciate it if you shared your opinion regarding the proposed online program.
