Your Introduction to Data Science is tuition-free
Our continuing education module consists of two eight-week units that challenge students to find several ways to solve problems through data analysis. Our hands-on approach ensures the skills students acquire translate seamlessly into the workplace.
Across both units in the module, students gain a comprehensive introduction to scientific computing, Python, and the related tools data scientists use to succeed in their work. Students will develop machine learning and statistical analysis skills through hands-on practice with open-ended investigations of real-world data.
All students receive complimentary access to a ready-to-use Python environment for the entire module. This allows students to gain first-hand experience with Python, pandas, and Jupyter Notebooks, and allows for immediate immersion into novel data science problems.
The Applied Data Science module is built by Worldquant University’s partner, The Data Incubator, a fellowship program that trains data scientists. Graduates earn a certificate upon completion of each unit to share and celebrate their professional development.
Students only need to fill out a short profile on their educational history and technical skillset to apply. The application takes less than 20 minutes to complete.
The Module
The Applied Data Science module is delivered entirely online so students can participate in continuing education without disrupting their lives.
Students who successfully complete Unit I earn a certificate and an invitation to enroll in Unit II. Those who successfully complete Unit II earn an overall certificate. Students have the opportunity to complete either unit of the module with honors.
