Unlike the rest of our Professional Certificate Program in Data Science, in this course, you will receive much less guidance from the instructors. When you complete the project you will have a data product to show off to potential employers or educational programs, a strong indicator of your expertise in the field of data science.

What you will learn

  • How to apply the knowledge base and skills learned throughout the series to a real-world problem
  • How to independently work on a data analysis project
