Data is now everyÂwhere. And those who can harÂness data effecÂtiveÂly stand poised to innoÂvate and make impactÂful deciÂsions. This holds true in busiÂness, medÂiÂcine, healthÂcare, eduÂcaÂtion and othÂer spheres of life.
Enter the 10-course IntroÂducÂtion to Data SciÂence from Johns HopÂkins. Offered on the CoursÂera platÂform, this course sequence covÂers “the conÂcepts and tools you’ll need throughÂout the entire data sciÂence pipeline, from askÂing the right kinds of quesÂtions to makÂing inferÂences and pubÂlishÂing results.” The proÂgram includes coursÂes covÂerÂing The Data Scientist’s ToolÂbox, R ProÂgramÂming, GetÂting and CleanÂing Data, DevelÂopÂing Data ProdÂucts and more. There’s also a CapÂstone Project where stuÂdents can build a data prodÂuct using real-world data.
StuÂdents can forÂmalÂly enroll in the IntroÂducÂtion to Data SciÂence speÂcialÂizaÂtion and receive a cerÂtifiÂcate for each course they complete–a cerÂtifiÂcate they can share with prospecÂtive employÂers and their proÂfesÂsionÂal netÂworks. They’ll also leave with a portÂfoÂlio demonÂstratÂing masÂtery of the mateÂrÂiÂal covÂered in the sequence. HopÂkins estiÂmates that most learnÂers can comÂplete the sequence in 3–7 months, durÂing which time stuÂdents will be charged $49 per month.
AlterÂnaÂtiveÂly, stuÂdents can audit indiÂvidÂual coursÂes for free. When you enroll in a course, look careÂfulÂly for the Audit option. Note: AudiÂtors canÂnot receive a cerÂtifiÂcate for each comÂpletÂed course.
If would like to forÂmalÂly enroll in the IntroÂducÂtion to Data SciÂence sequence, you can start a 7‑Day Free TriÂal and size things up here.
