Howard University plans to stand up a new hub for applied data sciences — and one of its first degrees will be shaped by Amazon Web Services, the school and company told the Washington Business Journal.
The partnership between Amazon.com Inc.’s cloud computing subsidiary and the historically Black university also promises to generate internships and career pathways for students, perhaps to jobs at HQ2.
The collaboration will boost Howard’s presence in STEM fields, a central goal announced a few years ago, while providing students the skills they will need to address systemic challenges in other areas.
