Your 24-Week Roadmap
Over 24 weeks, participants will build a strong foundation in data analytics using Python. The course is designed to move from core programming skills to practical, real-world analysis techniques—layering new abilities each step of the way. By the end of the program, students will be able to clean, transform, explore, visualize, and interpret data using industry-standard tools. Sessions begin Summer 2026!
Students begin by learning the building blocks of Python and how it supports modern data analytics workflows.
- Python basics and syntax
- Introduction to data types, variables, and functions
- Installing and setting up Anaconda & Jupyter Notebook
- Overview of essential Python data libraries: NumPy, Pandas, Matplotlib
Next, students develop the skills needed to prepare real-world datasets for analysis.
- Handling missing or incomplete data
- Identifying and addressing outliers
- Data manipulation and wrangling using Pandas
- Structuring data for accuracy and efficiency
Students learn how to uncover meaningful insights and communicate them visually.
- Exploratory data analysis (EDA) techniques
- Data summarization and aggregation
- Building visualizations with Matplotlib and Seaborn
- Introduction to Tableau for dashboard creation
To strengthen analytical reasoning, students gain experience with foundational statistical concepts.
- Understanding probability and distributions
- Hypothesis testing
- Introduction to regression analysis
- Interpreting statistical results to inform decisions
You Bring the Commitment. We’ll Bring the Opportunity.
