Skills Based Classes
Professional Education
These courses provide skills that are necessary for data science roles within Biotechnology: computing, handling data, and statistics. The primary courses are taught in the R programming language, through the modern tidyverse lens, which provides the easiest onramp to powerful data science techniques, and is widely used in the industry. The courses assume no prior programming experience, and quickly provide training in hands-on and tangible skills. Further courses include, or will include, other programming languages like python and SQL that unlock more advanced data science skills and methodologies essential for fully-rounded fluency in data science.
Skills Based Classes are not eligible for employee tuition reduction.
