The Data Science and AI Academy is the first of several NC State Academies, which are true university-wide efforts involving all 10 colleges. The Data Science and AI Academy’s goal is to network and catalyze data science across all three pillars of the university’s land-grant mission: education, research and service to the state of North Carolina. At NC State, data science is for everyone.
The Data Science and AI Academy offers 1-credit project-based courses and customized non-credit courses on a variety of topics grounded in our ADAPT course model (All Campus Data Science Accessible Project-based Teaching and Learning). We seek instructors from industry, government and academia who are excited about broadening participation in data science and welcoming learners from many disciplines.
Our courses attract faculty and staff from across the university as well as learners outside of the university. Instructors will join a professional teaching community that meets twice monthly to discuss data science teaching and learning research and practice.
