Universidad Tecnológica (UTEC) Uruguay

In 2025, UTEC launched a new Specialization in Data Science and Artificial Intelligence program, as part of its Graduate Program in Data Science. The program integrates the IDSSx Data Science and Machine Learning course.  With the dedicated commitment of an MIT Teaching Assistant, 25 learners are on track to engage with the program starting September 2025. 

As of August 2025, 107 learners from UTEC have earned the MicroMasters credential. Between 2022 and 2023, 25 of them had the opportunity to visit MIT during the fall, where they met with IDSS faculty, students, and the MicroMasters team.
