LPPS 5740 - Data Science for Public Leaders

Effective Date 03/24/2021
As data science strategies continue to expand in the public sector, it is increasingly important that leaders and policy makers develop a critical understanding of these methods. In this course, we will develop an awareness of how data science methods are applied to policy, an intuition for how these methods work, and a framework for critiquing data science applications. Course restricted to students who have completed one of the pre-req courses.
