Studying Data Science in New Hampshire

NH EPSCoR published the 2021 New Hampshire University Research and Industry Plan. The plan names three leading industry drivers in the state: life sciences, information technology and advanced manufacturing, and it pairs them with targeted research areas at New Hampshire universities. Because information technology is one of the three, the plan is a useful starting point for data science students and faculty who want to see how the state frames its technology research priorities.

Data Science Research & Initiatives at New Hampshire Universities

Dartmouth College's Geisel School of Medicine offers graduate study in health data science. For those outside the health field, Southern New Hampshire University (SNHU) offers online graduate study in data analytics, and the University of New Hampshire (UNH), which describes itself as the state's flagship public research university, offers graduate study in data science and business analytics.

• The UNH Connectivity Research Center, which focuses on network engineering and cyber security, has described a Smart Cities research area that applies data analytics to sensor data. Its Smart Transportation project page describes predictive models for parking availability and sensors that monitor pedestrian traffic.
• UNH also has a Bioinformatics Core facility supported by the NH-INBRE program. The university's Hubbard Center for Genome Studies provides computing for genomic analysis, training in genomics and bioinformatics, and DNA sequencing services.
• Dartmouth College's Geisel School of Medicine houses a Department of Biomedical Data Science, whose mission is to advance scholarship and education in the quantitative and computational analysis of biomedical and health data.

Online Data Science Programs in New Hampshire

SNHU offers online graduate degrees in data analytics and related fields. UNH offers an online graduate certificate in data science.

Online Graduate Certificates in Data Science

UNH's online Graduate Certificate in Data Science is a four-course, 12-credit program taught asynchronously, so students can complete coursework on their own schedule. According to UNH's program page, the courses cover applied analytic statistics, programming for data science, data architecture, and data mining and predictive modeling.

Online Master's Degrees in Data Science

SNHU offers an online master's degree in data analytics. The 36-credit program includes a capstone and covers descriptive statistics, predictive analytics, data visualization and the data analytics lifecycle. SNHU's online information technology and MBA degrees also offer analytics concentrations, so students who want to pair data skills with IT or management training have additional options. Readers who want to compare options beyond New Hampshire can start with this broader guide to graduate study in data science.

Health care administrators and IT professionals have options as well. SNHU's information technology master's includes a Healthcare Informatics concentration.

Data Science Bootcamps in New Hampshire

If earning a master's in data science just isn't in the cards for you, you may want to consider a data science or data analytics bootcamp. Data science or data analytics bootcamps are relatively short educational programs intended to quickly introduce students to the fields, often via hands-on practice. Some bootcamps are dedicated solely to data science, the study of how knowledge is generally derived from raw data, or data analytics, the processes by which specific insights can be drawn, but other bootcamps combine study of the two. Use our guides to learn more about whether data science bootcamps or data analytics bootcamps may be right for you.

Data Science Events in New Hampshire

Data Science Meetups & Communities in New Hampshire

New Hampshire is fairly small, but it's well-connected to other New England states, so you may want to look for groups that hold events across the region, such as the Insights Association's North Atlantic Chapter, which connects market research and analytics professionals in Massachusetts, Maine, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Vermont, and the New England Nursing Informatics Consortium (NENIC), a regional group for nurses who work in informatics. Groups based within the state include:

1. AI Tinkerers Manchester: A hands-on meetup for people building with artificial intelligence, with live demos, technical discussion and networking. The group meets in the Manchester area and has listed monthly meetups since January 2026.
2. NH Tech Alliance: A Manchester-based technology industry group that describes itself as dedicated to nurturing a vibrant tech ecosystem by building partnerships, enhancing knowledge and shaping public policy.
3. Science Cafe: Public science discussions in Concord and Nashua. In September 2026, the Concord Monitor sponsored a Science Cafe panel on artificial intelligence at Litherman's Limited brewery in Concord, with professors from UNH and Dartmouth, and said it plans more of them, though not on a monthly schedule. The Monitor also reported that a separate group runs Science Cafes most months in Nashua.

Data Science Conferences & Workshops in New Hampshire

If you want a huge conference dedicated to data science, take the train to Boston. Below is a fall 2026 conference in the Granite State on artificial intelligence, a field closely related to data science:

1. AI at 70: What Must Remain Human?: Dartmouth College hosts this conference Oct. 29-31, 2026, in Hanover. According to the college, it features keynotes, panels and a student hackathon on where artificial intelligence improves human decision-making and where human judgment must remain.

Data Science Jobs in New Hampshire

Let's look back at the industry drivers named in the 2021 New Hampshire University Research and Industry Plan: life sciences, information technology and advanced manufacturing. Employers with a technology presence in the state include Liberty Mutual, an insurer headquartered in Boston that describes its Portsmouth location as a technology hub and also operates a facility in Dover.

Smaller companies work with data in the state as well. Dover-based Athenium, a certified small business, provides climatological intelligence and infrastructure damage analytics for the insurance sector.

Data Scientist Salaries in New Hampshire

According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), data scientists in New Hampshire had a median annual wage of $100,620 in May 2025 (Standard Occupational Classification SOC 15-2051), compared with a national median annual wage of $120,230. BLS estimated that 1,100 data scientists were employed in the state, a count that excludes self-employed workers, and the 90th percentile annual wage, the level below which 90% of data scientists earned, was $155,020. In the Manchester-Nashua metropolitan area, the median annual wage was $103,790, with an estimated 280 data scientists employed.
