Graduate students spend summer working for the common good
This summer, nine UMass Amherst graduate students will put their data science skills and experience to work helping organizations measure their carbon footprint, detect misinformation in public forums, analyze healthcare data on veterans, and automatically identify objects in images. The nine fellows participating in the Data Science for the Common Good (DS4CG) program, administered by the Center for Data Science (CDS), hail from diverse backgrounds, but all are passionate about using their skills for the public good.
Industry Partners
In comparison to graduates from many other universities, UMass Computer Science graduates receive the kind of education that better enables them to hit the ground running when they arrive in industry.
