Thousands of GA alumni use their course certificate to demonstrate skills to potential employers — including our hiring partners — along with their LinkedIn networks. GA’s tech programs are well-regarded by many top employers, who contribute to our curriculum and partner with us to train their own teams.

Students come from all walks of life but have one thing in common: They’re passionate about launching a career in data science. We see career-changers from diverse professional backgrounds — with foundational data experience to build on.

This is an intermediate-level data science course with some prerequisites. We recommend that students arrive with a strong mathematical foundation and familiarity with Python and programming fundamentals. Some students have engaged in self-learning or have some technical background, such as a degree in mathematics or computer science or work experience in research or analysis.

Upon enrolling, you’ll complete a series of online preparatory lessons that dive into the essentials of the Python programming language and applied math before the data science course begins.

Our Admissions team can discuss your background and learning goals to advise if this Data Science Bootcamp is a good fit for you.

Here are just some of the benefits full-time students can expect at GA:

• Leading-edge instruction in the skills you need to successfully transition into a data science career.
• Self-paced pre-work to explore data science fundamentals and prepare to hit the ground running on day one of class.
• Robust coursework, including expert-vetted lesson decks, project toolkits, and more. Refresh and refine your knowledge throughout your professional journey as needed.

For your capstone project, you’ll tackle a real-world data problem from end to end. Develop a pitch and problem statement, source and collect relevant data, conduct an exploratory data analysis, and build a predictive model. You’ll document and share your findings through a presentation, technical report, and non-technical summary.

Throughout this Data Science Bootcamp, you’ll also compile a portfolio of projects designed to reinforce what you’ve learned in each unit. Gain hands-on experience with statistical and machine learning models, Python programming tools, recommender systems, neural networks, and more.

This Data Science Bootcamp is meant for students who are committed to changing careers and provides the most direct pathway to data science and other advanced analytics roles.

For professionals who already work with data and want to perform more complex analysis involving computation, we also offer an evening and weekend Data Science course.

If you’re searching for a more entry-level data course, our Data Analytics Bootcamp teaches beginners how to perform rigorous analysis with Excel, SQL, and Tableau.

It’s up to you! Our New Remote Experience mirrors GA’s on-campus offerings while enabling you to customize your journey with the best of live learning and expert-led practice. If you don’t live near a GA campus, have a busy travel schedule, or just want to save yourself the commute, the online Data Science Bootcamp could be a good option for you, if available in your area. You’ll still get access to the expert instruction, learning resources, and support network that GA is known for.
