Our curriculum is concerned with a broad set of data sources
including survey data, but also including social media posts, sensor data,
and administrative records, as well as analytic methods for working with
these new data sources. We bring to data science a focus on data quality —
which is not at the center of traditional data science. The MPSDS name speaks
to what we teach and work on at the intersection of social research and data.

We offer students a choice of “tracks” or emphases—social
science, data science or statistics. All of our students are thoroughly
introduced to numerous methods for collecting data and combining data from
multiple sources for conducting social research. We focus on evaluating
and improving data quality.
