Data Science Boot Camp
We expect most students will complete the course in 9 months studying between 15-20 hours per week. The curriculum is built to teach you the skills needed to land a job.
Spots are limited and we accept candidates on a rolling basis. We have a multi-step application process.
1. Interview via phone with an Enrollment Advisors
If your application and profile meet certain standards, we'll soon reach out by phone for a fit interview - be ready for a call shortly from a number with either a local area code or a 314 area code. This interview is required to gain provisional acceptance into the program.
2. Complete the technical skills survey
In parallel with your fit interview, we'll send you a survey via email to assess any knowledge gaps you may have before the program begins. Plan to complete this within 24 hours - most applicants take about 1 hour to do this.
3. Reserve your seat
Our program is very selective. If you are accepted, we will send you a registration link via email, to fill out within 24 hours. You will choose a start date and payment plan, and fill out your student profile to complete your enrollment and be eligible for mentor matching.
We offer three payment options. Explore detailed payment options on the data science boot camp page, or speak to an enrollment advisor to learn more.
Upfront payment: You pay a discounted total payment upfront.
Month to month: Pay in five payments while in the program.
Climb Credit loan: Pay a deposit at the time of enrollment, and make payments for a duration of 12 months.
Within the course, optional career units are offered. You can also work 1:1 with your career coach to create a successful job search strategy, build your network, craft a data science resume and LinkedIn profile, practice mock technical and behavioral interviews, debrief after actual job interviews, and negotiate your salary. We expect you can land a job within six months of course graduation.
This boot camp is designed for students who have:
English fluency (spoken and written), as determined by interactions with the enrollment team
Proficiency in math and statistics
During the application process, you’ll take a technical skills survey to determine your starting line:
Students without prior coding experience, with proficiency in math and statistics will be provided units that cover essential data science concepts, including Python, which you’ll need to succeed in the core curriculum.
Students with prior experience in statistics and programming, such as software developers, analysts, and finance professionals, will have access to the same introductory units, but they will be optional. You’ll be able to move right into the core curriculum.
