Data Science

Data Science Program Summary

The Accelerated Data Science Program is a 3-month intensive course designed to equip students with essential data science skills. Covering a comprehensive range of topics, the curriculum includes data collection and cleaning, exploratory data analysis (EDA), statistical analysis, machine learning, deep learning, natural language processing (NLP), and big data. Students will gain hands-on experience with tools such as Python, Jupyter Notebooks, and SQL, and will work on real-world projects to apply their knowledge. The course culminates in a capstone project, allowing students to demonstrate their skills in data collection, cleaning, EDA, and model building. Assignments, a final exam, and a certificate of completion ensure a thorough understanding and practical application of data science concepts.
