Level is an intensive data analytics bootcamp in Boston, Charlotte, Seattle, Silicon Valley, and online. Level was created by top-40-ranked Northeastern University to equip professionals with the tools, network, and experience needed to master data analytics. Students choose between full-time, part-time, and self-paced programs including Introductory Data Analytics, a self-paced 15-week introductory course for individuals without prior exposure to analytics; Intermediate Data Analytics which covers core analytics competencies and tools including SQL, R and Tableau. Level focuses on experiential learning, which means students complete hands-on projects and case studies with leading companies.
For entry into Intermediate Data Analytics, applicants must successfully complete an Excel/statistics assessment. For applicants who are new to analytics, Level recommends beginning with Introductory Data Analytics to build a strong foundation before Intermediate Data Analytics.
Level courses are accredited towards select Masters programs at Northeastern University, and Level graduates can earn up to 12 credits towards a degree. Students in Boston are eligible for an income sharing agreement tuition program.
Level is a new data analytics bootcamp offered by Northeastern University in four different locations in the U.S. We attended class full-time for 8 weeks, culminating in a capstone project that we did for an actual company (each student did a project for a different company...there were a wide variety of projects). We focused on statistics, Excel, R, SQL, Tableau, regression and machine learning.

Level is a new data analytics bootcamp offered by Northeastern University in four different locations in the U.S. We attended class full-time for 8 weeks, culminating in a capstone project that we did for an actual company (each student did a project for a different company...there were a wide variety of projects). We focused on statistics, Excel, R, SQL, Tableau, regression and machine learning.
Overall, I had a good experience (great people in my class), but because the program is new there were some clear growing pains. One of the main issues was that the program seemed to be trying to cover the full spectrum of data analytics to data science, but with the wide range of skills of the students in the course, among other things, it wasn't really possible in 8 weeks. I know that Level took our feedback and will likely adjust the curriculum, possibly offering different levels (no pun intended) of bootcamp so that an advanced student could focus on data science, whereas someone with fewer math skills or just new to the field might focus more on SQL, etc.
None of the students in my class had jobs by graduation, but a few of us had interviews. It's still too early to say whether or not a bootcamp like this is the key to a job. Level is expanding it's business contacts in our area, so that should help. The course definitely helped solidify some of the things I'd been trying to learn from MOOCs and gave me a couple of projects to show potential employers. It should be a five-star course after a some adjustments.
When I first learned of Level, I was very excited by the idea of an in-person part-time course. But the limited information available on Level made me realize that Northeastern isn't quite ready to break into the bootcamp business. Here's why:
1) The biggest red flag is that there is no information on Levels website, especially when it comes to statistics about the success of Level grads. Mind you, the level set and leve core total around 13k+.

When I first learned of Level, I was very excited by the idea of an in-person part-time course. But the limited information available on Level made me realize that Northeastern isn't quite ready to break into the bootcamp business. Here's why:
1) The biggest red flag is that there is no information on Levels website, especially when it comes to statistics about the success of Level grads. Mind you, the level set and leve core total around 13k+.
- Job placement rate, average starting salary, and salary increase is nowhere to be found on the website. Go to Thinkfuls website for example which boasts a 95% job placement rate and a 20k increase in salary. No I am not a Thinkful student - but I just want to point out that there are other bootcamps that provide these statistics and its alarming that Northeastern does not. And for a course on data, its rather ironic isnt it?
- Level Set does not offer a schedule for its course other than it begins in the last week of January. No information about when the classes meet and for how long.
- My application was ignored. I applied and was invited to schedule an interview with provided time-slots. No one called.
- The curriculum is 4 LINES. Yes, if you request a curriculum via their website for Level Set, you will receive an unusually short email for a $5000 course, 20/hrs a week
Moral of the story is - if youre interested in attending a bootcamp, make sure you know what you're paying for and make sure that information is upfront.
