The Data Science program offered by Coding Dojo is rigorous but very rewarding and so worth the time and money spent! I joined with no background in coding and no understanding of what a Data Scientist does. The curriculum is in-depth, clear, concise, and fun to work around. During the course, you have to complete tasks by the end of the week like reading, assignments, projects, and exams. At times you will feel stuck but there are many code walk-throughs, videos, and solutions that will help you out. Plus the people at Coding Dojo like your instructor, the ta's, and classmates are more than willing to help you out.

Nikitha R.Coding Dojo Alumni

I completed both a full-stack Python and Data Science PT bootcamp with Coding Dojo. Can't say enough great things about the school, it's online curriculum platform and relevance to current industry standards. I was fortunate to have both Michael and Noelle as my main instructors through both platforms, and cannot say enough about their patient teaching methods.

David N.Data Science Part-Time, 2021

Coding Dojo's style was perfect for me. Short explanations, decent code examples and then tons of immediate practice followed by a solution on completion of an assignment so you can immediately gauge how well you grasped the material and what you needed to review.

Application Process

How to Enroll

At Coding Dojo, we truly believe that anyone can learn to code, regardless of their professional background. After teaching 13k+ students, we have found that determination is the #1 factor to student success - NOT coding experience. That’s why our admissions process does not include a coding challenge or technical assessment.

Faqs

You've Got Questions We've Got Answers

What is Data Science?

Data science is the process of using data to solve business problems and make informed, cost-effective decisions. Data Science is a combination of statistics, programming, and business knowledge.
What is Machine Learning?

Machine learning is the process of getting a computer (the “machine”) to understand patterns in a dataset (to “learn”) without having to have a human explicitly teach it what those patterns are/should be. At its core, machine learning relies on statistical algorithms. It is the foundation for artificial intelligence.
How Hard Is Data Science to Learn?

Each student is different so it’ll depend on your skillset coming into the program. If you’re comfortable with computers and math, you’ll be more comfortable studying through the courses of the Data Science program. Don’t think you have to be gifted at math though, simply a decent grasp on statistics and the ability to problem solve and communicate is great to get you started!
Does Data Science Require Coding?

Yes, Data Science does require coding. Fortunately, our program is based on Machine Learning in Python. As the program advances, you’ll take courses in SQL and other technologies to study to pursue your career path in Data Science.
Do I Need Data Science Experience Before Enrolling?

Nope! Our data science bootcamp is beginner and advanced friendly. So whether you’ve never even read an article on data science, or have a data science degree, everyone will start in the same place. The first four weeks of our data science bootcamp will teach you all the basics.
How Long Does it Take to Learn Data Science?

Our data science courses last 16 to 20 weeks with the expectation that you commit 25 hours of your week to the course. After graduation, you’ll be ready to take on your first Data Science job—and you’ll be helped by our career service team when it comes to creating your resume and interview prep.
How Much Does the Data Science Bootcamp Cost?

Depending on the bootcamp you choose, our 16-week or 20-week Data Science program, our tuition ranges from $11,995 to $13,995. All Coding Dojo students are eligible to apply for one of our partial scholarships that reduce the cost of the program.
