The data science courses currently provided require advanced degrees or a plane ticket to international campuses, but with the hyper demand for data scientists from startups, large corporates, and nonprofits, Kaplan wants to educate a broader universe of students.
The initial cohort will accept 10 to 20 students, instructed by two data scientists from the Chicago based data-science consultancy Datascope Analytics. The bootcamp is 12 weeks long and features five projects. Students will learn about web scraping, regression, the Naive Bayes algorithm, and unsupervised machine learning.
