Data Science Discovery Program

The Data Science Discovery program connects undergraduate students at UC Berkeley with data science projects run by industry, government, non-profit, and academic partners. Students will participate in a semester-long project led by the partner, usually in a small team setting. The Data Science Discovery program is under the College of Computing, Data Science, and Society as a resource for undergraduate students to get hands-on data science experience. 

Students who participate in the Data Discovery program as a student researcher receive academic credit and do not get paid. However we do recruit paid student team members to assist with the operational side of the program as well as paid student consultants to offer technical support to project teams. Applications will be posted on the Undergraduate Student Opportunities Application Hub on the CDSS website before the start of each semester. 

Our preferred method of contact is through email. Our program email is ds-discovery@berkeley.edu. Anthony Suen is the Program Director, his email is anthonysuen@berkeley.edu.
