NYC Data Science Academy offers 12-week, accredited data science and data analytics bootcamps in New York City and live online. NYC Data Science Academy is a nationally accredited Data Science Bootcamp in the U.S that teaches both Python and R. In the program, students will learn beginner and intermediate levels of Data Science with Hadoop, Spark, Github, Docker, SQL, R, and Python packages like XgBoost, Caret, Dplyr, Ggplot2, Pandas, Scikit-learn, and more. The program distinguishes itself by balancing intensive lectures with real-world project work and the breadth of its curriculum. The academy is well known for its industry project-oriented learning experience and well-immersed community established since 2013.
Students will work on at least four individual or team projects showcased to employers through private hiring partner events, student blogs, meetups, and film presentations. The academy also offers strong lifetime career support such as tech interview prep, mock interviews, unlimited mentorships, and 1-on-1 post-interview reviews and feedback from career mentors to help students ace their interviews.
The program offers a very good course for building foundational data science skills. It is very evident how motivated the faculty and instructors are in helping their students achieve their initial career goals in data science. The curriculum covers topics and subject matter that is considered mandatory for any entry-mid level data scientist and the program does a good job preparing students for data science oriented interviews.

The program offers a very good course for building foundational data science skills. It is very evident how motivated the faculty and instructors are in helping their students achieve their initial career goals in data science. The curriculum covers topics and subject matter that is considered mandatory for any entry-mid level data scientist and the program does a good job preparing students for data science oriented interviews. Data Science is a large field that cannot fully be appreciated in 12 weeks. In spite of this the NYCDSA does a great job designing both the breadth and depth of their curriculum, which they are always improving and expanding.
Overall, I had a very successful experience and had multiple interviews both during and after the program, which eventually led me to my present dream data scientist job.
Overall Pros
- Talented and very bright staff and instructors.
- Very good network with NYC companies
- Growing company
- Available staff at all (or most) times
- NYC Location
- Homework is reasonable, challenging, and yet fun
- Curriculum covers many basics that are important for data science interviews.
Overall Cons
- Growing pains, which should be expected for any growing startup in a hectic and driven environment such as NYC.
- Hiring network is fairly limited to the east coast (from when I attended), however last time I checked they are making successful efforts in branching out to other regions.
My Advice:
The program is a goldmine of learning potential for any student who is willing to put in the hours both inside and outside of the classroom. In order to yield the most benefits from the program, students should be flexible and nimble. Data science is a constantly growing and changing field, thus the curriculum must also constantly change. Furthermore, students should constantly engage with the instructors and TA's. The curriculum goes at a face pace and it is their (the faculty) mission to ensure that all students maximize their learning. From my personal experience, 30% of what I learned came from the lectures while the other 70% of what I learned came through working on projects and problems after class with my peers and TA's.
Conclusion:
I would highly recommend this program to any person who are willing to work hard and put in the hours to learn and reinforce the material.
