We are excited to share that at its March meeting the Indiana University Board of Trustees approved the Master of Science in Economics and Data Science at IU Bloomington. This degree, now awaiting final approval by the Indiana Commission for Higher Education, will be offered through the College of Arts and Sciences in collaboration with the Luddy School of Informatics. It will provide students depth and breadth of knowledge and combined skills in both subjects. The demand for economists with strong computational skills and for data scientists with deep understanding of economics is high and increasing.
