This is a collection of computational and data journalism courses for which there is a __publicly available homepage or syllabus__ suitable for others to use as a guiding reference, i.e. basically anything that shows up in a Google search for `syllabus` + `computational`/`data`/`research` + `journalism` / `computer assisted reporting`.

Data/computational journalism is still a relatively new field, so it can be hard to know what's possible to fit in a curriculum. Hopefully, the 200+ course syllabuses – and in many cases, open source code/data repos – listed here can provide helpful guidance!
