Students will prepare to apply for internships for social impact in nonprofits, governmental organizations, and community organizations. As part of this preparation, students will become familiar with tools (such as a data maturity questionnaire) that can help organizations assess their own use of data, and use assessment results to initiate conversations about the organization's data practices and goals. Students will learn about the appropriate scope of projects for an internship, and practice some basic data management, analysis, and visualization through a mini-project utilizing data from real organizations with a focus on social impact. Additional emphases include developing and refining interviewing skills, professional and personal networks, job applications, and job selection. Prerequisite skills: Some elementary data science experience that could be applied in an internship.

Typically offered in Fall, Spring, and Summer
