The capstone project is an integral part of the EDS program. Students take what they have learned throughout the program and apply knowledge and theory to a real-world data project. Their hard work culminates in a paper and a presentation at a symposium at the end of the program.
The collaborative nature of the program builds a strong sense of community that extends beyond students' year on campus. Our alumni take many different paths, but many maintain a keen interest in supporting current students.
The job market for professionals with advanced data analysis and visualization skills is growing across all sectors. Data science professionals with expertise in education bring to the field their deep understanding of learning, schools, universities, and education policy.
Examples of potential employers include education research firms, school districts and systems, universities, state and federal government education agencies, ministries of education outside the U.S., education technology companies, and educational for-profit ventures.
Education Data Science students and alumni have access to ongoing career development services through the Graduate School of Education, as well as through Stanford Career Education.
