Course Development Opportunities

The UC Berkeley School of Information invites proposals from qualified people interested in developing course content for new and updated 14-week, master’s-level courses in its online graduate programs. 

Proposals should be designed for a highly motivated population of advanced graduate students who bring strong critical thinking, analytical, and professional experience to their learning. Compensation for course development is provided through a vendor payment arrangement with UC Berkeley.


Who Should Submit a Proposal

Proposals are encouraged from senior industry professionals, technical leaders, and experienced practitioners with substantial real-world experience in data science, cybersecurity, or adjacent fields. Ideal candidates have built, deployed, secured, or led complex systems and can translate industry practice, decision-making, and tradeoffs into rigorous, graduate-level online learning. Prior teaching experience is welcome but not required.
