Tuskegee Partners on Data Science

Tuskegee University and University of California at Berkeley announced the Berkeley-Tuskegee Data Science Initiative, a multi-year partnership to develop curriculum and collaborative research opportunities for students and faculty at both institutions.

The partnership allows Tuskegee scholars to take Berkeley data courses through an eight-week in-residence program. Google contributed $5 million to Tuskegee University in support of STEM initiatives in 2021, including the development of a data science program. The initial phases of the initiative are funded by part of this contribution.

Dr. Deborah Nolan, emeritus professor of statistics and associate dean for faculty at the Division of Computing, Data Science, and Society, and one of the original designers of this program with Tuskegee faculty and staff, collaborates with Berkeley to explore other educational and research opportunities between the universities.
