Data Science Bootcamp

Interested applicants are encouraged to submit their bootcamp application as early as possible as the Academy has a competitive process due to the number of applications that are received and limited seats that are offered.

The application process consists of three steps:

1. Applicants are required to submit an online application designed to help the Admissions team get a sense of each applicant’s educational and work background. Applicants are also asked to complete self-assessment questions about their familiarity and technical experience with various data science topics and tools. It should not take more than 10 to 15 minutes to complete the online application.
2. After the application is reviewed, the applicant will be contacted by a member of the Admissions team to schedule a video interview. This interview serves as a chance for both parties to understand better if the bootcamp program is the best fit for the background and goals of the applicant.
3. If advanced to the final step, the applicant is invited to complete a technical assessment. It contains technical challenges that determine the thought process and programming experience of the applicant. Each applicant has 48 hours to complete and submit the assessment. The team will then review and evaluate the responses and determine if the applicant is ready to join the bootcamp.

To enroll in the bootcamp, applicants must possess a minimum of a Bachelor’s Degree. Degrees in Math, Science or Technology are highly desirable. However, applicants with strong domain knowledge in an area that employs data scientists, and some background in either coding or statistics, will also be considered.

Under exceptional circumstances, an applicant without a baccalaureate degree may be considered for admittance into the bootcamp, in which case the applicant must meet the following requirements:

• Proof of high school graduation
• Proof of exceptional talent in computer programming
• Evidence of domain knowledge in math and science
• Pass the Academy’s Technical Assessment with a B or higher grade
• Two letters of recommendation by relevant professionals

A Complete Curriculum

The Online Data Science Bootcamp provides a comprehensive set of learning materials including lecture videos, slide decks, homework assignments with solutions and explanations, code reviews, jump-start sessions, and a selection of industry talks, online webinars and interactive meetups.

High Engagement and Completion Rate

Open online courses are often insufficient in acquiring a deeper understanding of challenging materials as the topics covered are usually elementary, with an average completion rate of 10%. Our online bootcamp ensures that students achieve the requisite level of mastery by progressing through our comprehensive set of learning materials.

Thorough Interaction and Support

We provide a combination of one-on-one tutoring and project mentoring through our dedicated meeting portal. Students can book up to 80 one-hour video meetings with leading data scientists from global companies.

Amazing Job Placement Assistance

Our career advisors work closely with every student to provide tailored support which includes coding reviews, interview preparation, resume workshops, and exclusive access to our hiring partner network.

We partner with two different financing institutions: Skills Fund and Climb.

Skills Fund offers fixed interest rates on 3- and 5-year loans, regardless of current income, employment, or educational background.  In addition to the cost of the program, they offer a living stipend up to $7,500 with tuition financing.

Climb Credit offers fixed interest rate loans for both immersive and bundled part-time courses.
