There are some 200,000 jobs in the data
sciences that go unfilled each year. The
MCS-DS degree unlocks those career
opportunities. The main thing that that
we learn from the students is they value
practice, and you have to show how what
you're talking about in the fundamentals
and in the theory actually applies to
the real world.
The assignments for the
courses link up well with real-world
work. Our programming assignments are
done through Github and Gitlab, just
like you would at your actual job.
The best fit is working with the professors
working with the faculty, working with
the TA's. At the same time, when you work
in the projects, you work with your other
working professionals.
We had to work
with so many classmates from so many
places, like from China, from Taiwan, from
Canada, from Australia, from here. Everyone has their own perspective and we get to
learn from each other. That's really
unique.
I'm a mom with two young kids, one
is eleven and one is six so I definitely
I'm really busy and then I have work. If
you do not have time to attend the
office hours you can post your questions.
All these videos are self-paced, so you
can watch them whenever you have time
and if you have any questions you can
always ask.
You're able to take more
classes if you have more time, or if life
gets too complicated or too busy you can
actually take a semester off.
I really love the fact that it is platform
agnostic, so I could be on my phone, on my tablet, on my computer-- I can access it
just the same way.
I just graduated from the MCS-DS program. I'm working as a software
engineer where we are using all these
cloud computing technologies, like AWS
Azure and everything. How simple and easy it can be to get a degree with your
full-time job, that is the most awesome thing, and from
such a great university.
I feel great that I got opportunity to work with the
one of the best universities, and at
the same time I have got chance to work
at my own schedule. It will elevate
my life, my family's life overall to help
me grow my career further into the
latest technology trends.
If you are
passionate about learning about data science, and if you are
like me who is full-time professional
and who wants that flexibility but also
cares about the quality of the program,
it's definitely worth taking a plunge.
It is worth it.
