Course Report

Program Requirements Narrative

This program consists of four required courses. Beginning with statistics, and introduction to programming methods and concepts in the Python language, it moves into the use of data science methods and tools to make sense of large datasets and to tell the story represented in the data. The program culminates with a practical introduction to machine learning tools and techniques and their use to find even more obscure or complex patterns in data.
