The School of Data Science and College of Computing and Informatics launched a new partnership with DataCamp in 2022. DataCamp is an online learning platform that focuses on teaching students the comprehensive skills they need to become successful data scientists.  The platform provides a fun and interactive way to master the foundation and learn advanced-level coding skills. DataCamp will help you keep you fluent in the language of data. All SDS students actively enrolled in classes, and all SDS faculty and staff, have FREE access to the full suite of training modules, and access to learning resources on hundreds of topics in the field of data science. Looking for a convenient review of SQL? An overview of Tableau techniques?  An introduction to PowerBI? 

Custom Tracks for SDS Students

The SDS faculty have collaborated to create two custom tracks, SDS R Bootcamp and SDS Python Bootcamp, on DataCamp. Following the directions to enroll:

  1. Log in to DataCamp using your registered university email id.
  2. Go to Learn ---> Tracks ---> Organization Tracks.
  3. Select your preferred custom track.

Upon completion of each Custom Track/Bootcamp, students will receive a statement of accomplishment to demonstrate their readiness for the courses.
