Testimonial
"The program is intelligently designed for working professionals. I could continue to work full-time while taking classes full-time. This is possible because the in-person classes are held on Saturdays and the online classes are held after office hours. For my capstone project, I got to work with Charles Schwab, which helped me apply everything I'd learned in the program—something very few universities offered. I would strongly recommend this program to anyone considering a career in data science or advancing within the field."
