Programs

Three programs, one rubric. Every graduate leaves with a defended capstone, a reviewed portfolio, and ten minutes of stage time in front of hiring partners.

01

Data Analytics Immersive

The flagship. From spreadsheets to stakeholder-ready dashboards in one quarter — SQL, Python, statistics, and the craft of telling a story a committee will actually act on.

Who it's for

Career-changers, analysts without formal training, and anyone told to "just look at the data."

What you can do at the end

  • Query million-row tables in SQL without apology
  • Build reproducible analysis pipelines in Python
  • Design dashboards executives read to the end
  • Ship a capstone reviewed by a hiring panel
02

Data Engineering Practicum

Pipelines that survive Monday. Ingestion, modelling, orchestration, and the unglamorous operational discipline that keeps a warehouse honest at 3 a.m.

Who it's for

Backend engineers, BI developers, and analysts ready to own the whole pipeline end to end.

What you can do at the end

  • Model a warehouse with dbt and star-schema discipline
  • Orchestrate daily pipelines with Airflow
  • Stream events and handle late, dirty, duplicate data
  • Run a platform on cloud infrastructure with cost alarms
03

Machine Learning Foundations

Statistics first, models second. A rigorous, math-honest introduction to applied ML for people who intend to deploy — not merely demo.

Who it's for

Working analysts, engineers, and quantitative professionals who need ML that survives production review.

What you can do at the end

  • Frame a business problem as a validable prediction task
  • Train, tune, and honestly evaluate gradient-boosted models
  • Avoid the leakage and sampling traps that sink pilots
  • Hand a model to engineering as a reviewed service

Not sure which one?

Come to an open lab night — Thursdays, 6 to 9 pm, third floor. Sit in on a working session, ask faculty anything, and leave with a recommendation you can argue with.
