Informatics, Information Science, Computer Science, and Data Science Curricula

We describe a possible data science curricula based on discussions at Indiana University and experience with our Informatics, Computer Science, and Library and Information Science programs. This leads to an interesting breadth of courses and students’ interests, which could address the many job opportunities. We suggest a collaboration to build a MOOC (online) offering with one initial target: minority serving institutions.
