Data Analysis and Interpretation Specialization

About Course

Dive deep into the world of data with the Data Analysis and Interpretation Specialization, brought to you by Wesleyan University. This comprehensive program empowers you to unlock the secrets hidden within data, transforming you from a data novice to a skilled analyst in just four project-based courses.

Completely Free, this specialization offers you the flexibility to choose your preferred data science tools. Master the art of data management, visualization, modeling, and machine learning using either SAS or Python (including Pandas and Scikit-learn).

Throughout the specialization, you’ll embark on a journey of discovery, analyzing a research question of your choosing and summarizing your insights. Your skills will be put to the test in a compelling Capstone Project, where you’ll use real data to tackle a pressing societal issue and present your findings in a professional report.

Collaborate with industry partners like DRIVENDATA and The Connection, contributing to their impactful initiatives. Participate in DRIVENDATA contests to help solve global social challenges or assist The Connection in understanding recidivism risks for individuals in substance abuse treatment.

This specialization is ideal for anyone interested in a data-driven career, professionals seeking to enhance their data insights, or individuals with burning questions waiting to be explored. No prior experience is required, as you’ll gain mastery over statistical methods for conducting original research and making informed decisions.

This course is available on platforms like Udemy, Udacity, Coursera, MasterClass, NearPeer, and more.
