<p><b>UC Berkeley School of Information launches Master of Information and Data Science (MIDS) degree</b></p>
<p>Dear Alumni and Friends of the I School, </p>
<p>I am thrilled to share the news that the School of Information is launching a Master of Information and Data Science (MIDS) degree with the first cohort of students starting in January 2014. This will be the country’s first fully online <a href="http://my.berkeley.edu/site/R?i=jgDIsKHXfN45z35djKXw-Q" target="_blank">Master of Information and Data Science (MIDS)</a> program.</p>
<p>The I School faculty developed this new degree in response to the rapidly growing need for well-trained professionals who can organize, analyze, and interpret the deluge of often messy and unorganized data now available from the web, sensor networks, mobile devices, and elsewhere — often referred to as “big data.”</p>
<p>The MIDS is a rigorous 27-unit graduate degree aimed at the working professional. It will combine live, face-to-face classes with interactive, online course work that can be accessed from anywhere. While the coursework will be entirely online, all students will also participate in a one-week immersion in Berkeley that allows them to meet one another and the faculty as well as to interact with leading data science professionals from the San Francisco Bay Area.</p>
<p>The program will provide hands-on experience with the diverse tools and methods for exploring and finding patterns in complicated, real-world data, and for communicating the findings with decision makers. Just like all other degree programs at the School of Information, I School faculty will teach in the program alongside experienced professionals.</p>
<p>If you would like to learn more about the Master of Information and Data Science program, please <a href="http://my.berkeley.edu/site/R?i=oaY1Pim2okA1ZkYYkX_2HA" target="_blank">visit us online</a> to request more information or call 855.678.MIDS.</p>
<p>Sincerely,</p>
