The Syracuse iSchool is offering a free open course entitled "Introduction to Data Science" (see http://ischool.syr.edu/newsroom/news.aspx?recid=1408 for the announcement)

From the course site (http://ischool.syr.edu/future/cas/introtodatascience.aspx), "Data science is the answer to optimizing (or, for starters, simply dealing with) Big Data. However, the iSchool’s distinct perspective approaches data science with a view of the full data life cycle, going beyond what most discuss as data analytics."
