Support Students Doing Good with Data
We are excited to introduce a new Master's Program at UMass, Amherst. The Data Analytics and Computational Social Science (DACSS) Program is committed to providing students intensive qualitative and quantitative methods training in advanced data science. Our curriculum supports evidence-based, decision-making practices for the public and private sectors.
DACSS believes that students learn best by applying course knowledge with hands-on research. DACSS students are leading high-profile, data-driven research under the guidance of faculty, who rely on funding sources to support student involvement. Your contribution will make a difference by allowing students this valuable research component to their education.
