Applied Data Science Program by MIT Professional Education Reviews

I am a professor in the biomedical area, interested in upskilling my analytic abilities in applied data science. While I had some previous training in statistics and overall modeling, I lacked the consistency and focus on predictive analytics. Also, I needed a crash course on Python. The MIT Applied Data Science Program @Great Learning is a brilliant program that does it all - it meets you where you are, professionally, and builds a path for solid scientific growth. If you are committed and enthusiastic to learn, it provides a pre-program training in Python and statistics, to prepare you to engage with the more advanced courses. I have to say it was really excellent. It gave me the basis to further engage in advanced problem solving, with their dual focus on theory, and problem solving with coding with real cases weekly. Once you start to do exploratory data analysis in the program, you get on the path to accrue new ways of thinking with data and with more and more powerful methods to work with big data. This cutting edge program provides online dedicated sessions with top MIT professors and great mentors along the way to work with you to deliver these contents and practices. Also, a program manager is assigned to you. This person is always available and is extremely helpful in guiding the learning experience with you. There are multiple ways to communicate, so it feels really like a caring educational experience, with tons of support. I have to say I loved all the courses, and found opportunity to develop skill in multiple areas of interest, from machine learning, prediction and statistical inference with scientific visualization, applied to deep learning, recommendation systems, random forest, decision tree systems, etc. Additionally,  we work on the complex formulation of models and their interpretations to solve a multiplicity of real problems. They also added a ChatGPT training.  There is also support with career development, job search and a community of peers to engage during the program and afterwards. In sum, I found this program exceptional, supportive and rigorous, with top masters, caring and dynamic instructors, strongly building of your predictive analytic skills, and overall career changing. I wholeheartedly recommend it.

I just completed the Applied Data Science course at MIT (by Great Learning) it was fantastic.The course is very intense, so you should know that you need to dedicate time to make the best out of it. Between weekdays lectures with MIT professors (which was amazing to get a good intuition about each topic) then a weekend mentoring session with amazing instructors that iterate through the urgent topics and work with us through a case study to apply all what we learnt throughout the week.That’s a lot to learn and practice and leaves you with an amazing foundation for Data Science and several machine learning techniques.For sure the course doesn’t cover every single topic out there but once you have the good foundation, intuition and will the sky is the limit for new learnings with so much resources out there.Thanks to everyone (MIT professors, great learning PM, instructors and mentors) for the great curriculum, support and the right tools to succeed.

For anyone interested in data science and improving your coding skills using Python, I would definitely recommend this program.  The courses within the program are very comprehensive and provides a lot of hands on training experience.  The program is fast pace and intensive, however, the program is flexible for working professionals, and is designed to assist you in meeting the learning objectives and assessments.  Also, I felt very supported throughout my learning journey as the program manager and mentors were very quick in addressing any concerns or questions that I had.  The program definitely met or even exceeded my expectations.

I enrolled in their MIT-Applied Data Science Program and finished in June 2023.This is an intense course. Be prepared to be dedicated to complete the course work on time. Keep other activities on hold.Remember you are going from 0 to 100 in 3 months. You are getting all the right tools for success. Execution and dedication is key.My advice to fellow learners. Program starts with Python fundamentals. Take a online course on Python and do your best to enter this program with intermediate skills in Python. This will allow you to focus more on core subject matter.Program is well structured. Content is excellent. Program Managers, Mentors and MIT Professors interaction exceeded my expectations.

I went through the MIT Applied Data Science program through Great Learning, and it was a great experience! Even though I have some background in the subject matter from  my time back in grad school, this coursework was a very refreshing set of lectures and coursework/homework. In addition, there have been so many advances in the field of Machine Learning that were great to see included in the course.

I just finished the applied data science program and its one of the best programs I have ever done.The syllabus was up to date, the teachers amazing and the mentors incredible. the whole team worked to answer all the questions I had and to prepare me for real life tasks.  You wont believe the doors this has opened up for me in my career.Its a tough program to complete and it will challenge you, but its well worth the effort.Higly recommend it!

I have completed the MIT Great Learning "Applied Data Science" degree program. This was an accelerated program that taught concepts and hands-on learning for multiple topics required. These ranged from Statistics, Probability, Supervised & Unsupervised Machine Learning, as well as Neural Networks. We used actual datasets and python coding to complete all of the various course exercises. The lectures and mentoring sessions were led by MIT instructors and the program was managed and supported by Great Learning. Together they made a great team to guide and support us throughout the journey. The Program Manager in particular assigned  to our cohort was also extremely helpful and responsive for any questions or needs. I would definitely recommend this for anyone looking to get into the data science profession or advance their career. It is valuable for anyone.

I finished Applied Data Science course with MIT and Great Learning. It really was a great learning Experience! The journey wasn’t easy as I needed to juggle my full time job and the course. However the course is well designed and teaches you the concepts and how to apply them step by step, in addition, the Great learning team gave me all the support I needed. The content is challenging, comprehensive and deep but in the end it was a very satisfying journey. 

Before I registered to Applied Data Science Program with MIT I read bunch of recommendations all over. Actually, this is what's makes me feel comfortable and high expectations  of the course.I'm sr. business analyst and I registered to level up myself and give more to the company I'm working for. I got all the knowledge I expected with the full support. I know that there is bunch of online courses, the online one with available mentor and full support was the best for me. Additional value you are going to get from this program is the career prep that actually give you  1:1 LIVE online session with an experienced industry professional for career guidance.Good Luck!

I finished Applied Data Science and Machine Learning with MIT and Great Learning. The Experience was amazing! The content of the course is excellent! Comprehensive and challenging. The idea is to learn, so they take you step by step with what you need to know and understand. There is a combination of Lecturers from MIT and Great Learning, both outstanding, the lectures are from one of the top schools, and they answer all your questions. There is also a team to support you outside of the lectures, and I never had to wait more than an hour or less for an answer. The Program Manager plays a big part in this as this requires a lot of support, communication and guidance. Spot on! Very well-organised dynamic for learning! Thank you!

Nitish and Shikha were monumental in my success in this program as program managers. When I felt overwhelmed with the density and complexity of the coursework, they were quick to reach out and help devise a plan for me to get back on track. Not only is this one of the hardest boot camps I’ve done, but it’s the most hands-on, most supported, had great integration of community, and I’m walking away from this experience with 0 prior knowledge to confidently walking into meetings discussing concepts in class. Plus, the UI of the Great Learning website is fantastic. 

I applied to this course in December, it started in March with 2 months of opportunity to do some pre-work, so It's basically starting in January. It involves a mix of videos, zoom calls, web tests, and python notebooks for some exercises. One of the nicest things about it is the mentored learning sessions involve experts in the field and it feels very privileged to receive their instructions and ask questions. It is at a fast pace but generally flexible. It covers a wide variety of topics and narrow in your focus as you go which I think is a good way to do it. I also found the instructors and managers to be very nice and have no complaints really.

The Applied Data Science program, with MIT and Great Learning, was a truly fantastic experience. Beautifully organized, a width and breadth of material in statistics, with a good grounding education in Python - having had no experience in coding/programming, I walk away comfortable in it like I could not have imagined. The faculty and their lectures were superb and thorough. Rishi Shankar, my program manager, was a jewel. Always responsive and considerate, very thorough, and a pleasure to interact with. I cannot recommend this program enough. With my background, this was like a revelation and helped me think about analytics in a way that will forever be a new foundation!
