UC Regents’ vote creates UC Berkeley’s first college in 50 years

The college includes the Data Science Undergraduate Studies program, the Department of Statistics, the Berkeley Institute for Data Science, the Center for Computational Biology and the Bakar Institute of Digital Materials for the Planet.

It shares the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences with the College of Engineering, the Social Science Data Lab (D-Lab) with the Social Sciences division and the Computational Precision Health program with UC San Francisco (UCSF).

As a rule employers (in industry) don't want programmers. They want experts in aviation, automotive, finance, etc, who also happen to know how to write programs.

 

It sounds like it is structured as a research institution, not a practical school.
