Data,
code and algorithms are becoming central to research and creative work -
transforming industries, reshaping lives and setting new parameters for
responsible citizenship. In this data-driven world, Columbia’s
Graduate School of Journalism and Department of Computer Science have
launched an intensive, post-bac certification program designed to equip
communicators of all kinds with the computational skills needed to turn
data into narrative. The program assumes no prior experience in these topics.
Lede students take hands-on classes in data and data technologies, taught in the critical and creative contexts of the social sciences and humanities. The program is split into two sequential sections - one providing an introduction to computing, data analysis and data visualization; and the other venturing into advanced versions of these topics. In both cases, students can expect to leave with a portfolio of data-driven clips showcasing their new skills.
Lede 12
Lede 12 is a one-semester, summer-only Certification of Professional Achievement for students who want an applied introduction to data and computation. Students take four intensive courses hosted at the Journalism School, gaining a strong foundation in coding, statistics, data, algorithms and visualization. See sample courses »
Lede 24
Lede 24 is a two-semester, summer and fall Certification of Professional Achievement for students who want a deeper computational education. In the summer, they take Lede 12 classes at the J-School; in the fall, they study through Columbia's Department of Computer Science or Institute for Data Sciences and Engineering, delving into the formal principles behind their work. The course is meant to prepare students for advanced practice in computational and data sciences. See sample courses »
