(motivating upbeat music)
- [Narrator] Data, stats, computers.
They're kinda your thing.
You know that businesses spend billions
of dollars tracking and understanding
their customers based on
trillions of data points.
But what if we could use data
to make people healthier,
smarter, safer, and happier?
What if we could harness the power
of data to make better
public policy decisions?
Like exploring test scores
to find hidden trends
to help teachers improve.
Or analyzing insurance data
to make sure patient outcomes
are improving when we change
the way we pay doctors.
And evaluating new housing programs
to find out not only whether they work,
but for whom they work the best.
Georgetown's McCourt
School of Public Policy
and Graduate Analytics
Program have created
a new cutting-edge degree
that will train students
in these emerging skills and more.
The Master of Science in Data
Science for Public Policy
will equip you with the
computer science skills
to harness massive amounts of data,
so you can use these skills to make
the right decisions that have
real impact in communities.
But we don't stop there, you'll also
learn leadership and communications
to lead teams dedicated to
data-driven policy-making.
The demand for these jobs in the US
and around the world
is increasing quickly,
and there's no better place to learn
than here in the nation's capital.
Join us at Georgetown.
