The Data Science Board of America (DSciBA) offers the premier accreditation program for technology institutions seeking to elevate their data science degree programs to meet the highest global standards.
DSciBA Accreditation
The DSciBA accreditation program strengthens the delivery of data science programs and courses offered by universities and educational institutions.
By aligning curriculum with industry standards and ensuring a focus on practical applications, DSciBA accreditation enhances graduate career outcomes and prepares them for success in the data science field.The DSciBA accreditation system is streamlined, automated, and entirely digital, enabling efficient program evaluation with minimal disruption to academic operations.
This streamlined process typically takes only 8-10 weeks to complete, allowing institutions to quickly demonstrate their commitment to high-quality data science education.
DSciBA accreditation for a data science program lasts for six years. Maintaining accredited status for an additional three years is streamlined through an online process. To qualify, programs must demonstrate ongoing adherence to the 11 rigorous DSciBA standards.
The continuation of accreditation hinges on two key factors: adherence to DSciBA's data science education standards and a strong track record of program graduates successfully achieving DSciBA certifications.
