IGERT PhD Program in Big Data and Data Science at the UW

Participating departments in the IGERT program have all defined a Big Data PhD track, which articulates how the IGERT requirements map to the department's requirements without creating any additional burden. In some departments, these Big Data tracks go beyond this mapping. 

UPDATE: An official Advanced Data Science Option has been approved and qualifying coursework will now be noted on transcripts! This will replace the Big Data Tracks, which are not transcripted.
