The Bachelor of Science in Computational Social Science (CSS) at the University of Pittsburgh’s School of Computing and Information educates students to build, compute, and improve theoretically informed models of social processes, bridging domain and technical expertise. The program prepares students to understand, engage with, and innovatively solve evolving, complex multi-scale social challenges—including climate change, transnational political violence, cybersecurity and privacy, social polarization, and inequality. Students gain foundational training in both social science theory and computational methods, acquiring advanced skills in areas such as data mining, social computing, predictive analytics, and causal inference. The interdisciplinary curriculum encourages leveraging digital data sources and computational tools to address real-world social science puzzles across government, business, and NGOs.
