            Ultimately, this program attracts a community of eager learners who have an interest in manipulating large data sets and forecasting to impact strategy and bottom lines.

            This is a fast-paced course with some prerequisites. Students should be comfortable with programming fundamentals, core Python syntax, and basic statistics.

            Upon enrolling, you’ll complete a short onboarding task and, based on your results, may be advised to take an introductory Python workshop. You’ll also complete up to 25 hours of online preparatory lessons that will ensure you have the foundations to dive into rigorous coursework.

            Our Admissions teamcan discuss your background and learning goals to advise if this Data Science Short Course is a good fit for you.

            Here are just some of the benefits you can expect as a GA student:

            • 60 hours of expert instruction designed to build a well-rounded foundational data science skill set.
            • Up to 25 hours of self-paced pre-work to brush up on programming fundamentals and statistics.
            • Robust data science coursework, including expert-vetted lesson decks, lab materials, and more. Refresh and refine your knowledge throughout your professional journey as needed.

You’ll develop a model, technical documentation, and stakeholder presentation, and graduate with a polished, portfolio-ready data science project to showcase your skills. We encourage you to tackle a problem that’s related to your work or a passion project you’ve been meaning to carve out time for.

            You’ll be expected to spend time working on homework and projects outside of class each week, but the workload is designed to be manageable with a full-time job.

            If you need to miss a session or two, we offer resources to help you catch up. We recommend you discuss any planned absences with your instructor.
