Academics

The Network Science Institute is a national leader in interdisciplinary education, bringing together faculty, researchers and students from various backgrounds to explore the power of networks.

With the goal of training a new generation of scholars, we offer pioneering interdisciplinary programs that equip students with the tools and concepts aimed at understanding the structure and dynamics of networks arising from the interplay of human behavior, socio-technical infrastructures, information diffusion and biological agents.

Our academic programming includes the first PhD program in Network Science in the U.S, a new Master of Science in Complex Network Analysis, and experiential co-op opportunities in complex systems across multiple campuses, attracting high-caliber students with a passion for networks.
