William & Mary University, based in Williamsburg, Virginia offers a fully funded PhD in Data Science. The Ph.D. track is offered as a specialization within Applied Science, with the core mission of training students in the use of exceptionally large, heterogeneous datasets to drive decision-making across a wide range of fields (from Physics to the social sciences). Graduate students complete a core sequence of coursework as a cohort, and then work closely with an advisory committee to complete the degree program. Competitive stipends and tuition are provided to selected students (stipends for AY24-25 are $31,000).
