Work With Us - Center of Excellence in Data Science

Industry Engagement

The Center supports innovative data science research across a broad range of established and emerging areas. With faculty from multiple disciplines and areas of expertise, the Center can support a wide range of business objectives. Commonly applied data science methods include but are not limited to artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, data mining, and statistical and computational analysis. We foster connections through our internship program, capstone projects, and collaborations with researchers and faculty.

Internship Partnership Program

We recognize that for some organizations data science is a valuable tool for identifying business opportunities, supporting decision making, and developing business strategies, while for others it is an integrated component of the products they develop or services they offer. With that broad perspective, this program aims to support small businesses and startups in New York in reaching their business objectives by facilitating their access to student talent in data science. The Center funds two-month summer internship projects for small businesses/organizations that are selected from proposals submitted by companies interested in partnering with us.
