The School of Data Science is the University of Virginia's school specializing in data science. It offers bachelors, masters, and doctorate degrees. It was established in 2019. The school's physical building opened in April 2024.
Research
In 2024, School of Data Science researcher and activist-in-residence Renée Cummings expressed the school's commitment to ethical data science.
History
Prior to the formation of the school, University of Virginia professor Don Brown established the Data Science Institute in 2013. In early 2019, University of Virginia president Jim Ryan publicly discussed plans for establishing a school of data science. By this time, the Data Science Institute had been offering master's degrees in data science for five years.
The University of Virginia's own Board of Visitors approved the establishment of the school in June 2019. The State Council of Higher Education for Virginia approved the establishment of the school in September 2019.
The school began offering data science doctorates in 2022 and bachelor degrees in 2024.
Funding
Donors to the School of Data Science include the Quantitative Foundation with a gift of $120 million in January 2019, Capital One which gave $2 million in April 2021, and university alumnus Oscar Woods who gave $100k in October 2023.
