The University of Chicago Harris School of Public Policy in conjunction with the Department of Computer Science offers students an opportunity to begin their professional training in the growing field of civic technology and data science in public policy while still in the College, leading to the awarding of a four-year undergraduate degree in their declared major and a two-year master of science degree in computational analysis and public policy (MSCAPP) after five years of study at the University of Chicago. The BA/MSCAPP is a professional degree program for students in the College who wish to gain rigorous training in the emerging and critical role of technologists fluent in public policy skills and issues. The policy piece of the core curriculum draws on a variety of disciplines and fields, including economics, statistics, sociology, political science, political economy, organizational theory, and program evaluation. These areas provide a foundation in critical analysis, reflecting Harris Public Policy's belief that mastering quantitative and analytical skills prepares students to be effective public policy leaders. The computer science core curriculum augments the core policy training with courses in computer programming, data analytics and machine learning, and database management. The unique combination equips students with technical expertise that is useful for many aspects of society but increasingly in demand in the public sector. By combining the strengths of the two faculties, the program builds on the tradition of interdisciplinary teaching and research at the University.
