Overview
Take a deep dive into the fundamentals
of data science and machine learning
in Python over 12 weeks. You’ll gain a
comprehensive understanding of the
entire data science process from end-to-
end, including data prep, data analysis
and visualization, as well as how to apply
machine learning algorithms to various
situations or tasks.

You’ll walk away with a project portfolio

showcasing your data science acumen
as well as an understanding of one of the
fastest growing job sectors out there.
