Remember, there is no ultimate “best data science boot camp” – the best data program for you depends on your own learning style, career goals, availability, etc. This list is not a ranking, but rather data science programs are listed alphabetically.

In addition to the above factors, we considered a school’s operation time, number of campuses, selectivity in the application process, caliber of career support, and commitment to diversity when creating this list.īootcamps in the Rising Stars category have stood out to us because they’ve been rated highly by alumni, shown growth over the last year, or demonstrated a proven curriculum.

Vetted Lending Partnerships: Whether a school has been vetted and approved to work with reputable financing companies like Ascent Funding and Climb Credit.

Varied Financing Options: Bootcamps that offer a variety of payment options like deferred tuition, income share agreements, or school financing to make their program more accessible to students.

Transparency Around Career Outcomes: Schools that have published CIRR outcomes within the past year, though schools that self-publish outcomes are also recognized.

Time Commitment: Data science bootcamps included in this list have programs where students dedicate at least 20 hours of study a week and are at least 8 weeks long.

We consider both quality & quantity of bootcamp reviews, and particular weight is given to Verified Reviews. Alumni + Student Reviews: Students and alumni have left more than 40,000 reviews on Course Report.To be considered for this list of top data bootcamps, schools must meet the following criteria:

Some of these programs are actually data science fellowships, which require a post-graduate degree (like a PhD), and are free for students transitioning from academia into industry. Many data science bootcamps have rigorous admissions processes and require applicants to have a degree in STEM. These bootcamps teach students the skills to become a data scientist or data analyst by teaching either Python and/or R, and covering skills like data visualization, machine learning, big data, natural language processing and more. Put simply, these are the data science schools we would recommend to our own family and friends. Each year, we use our knowledge and expertise to curate a list of the top data science bootcamps and data analysis bootcamps around the world.

As the leading authority on data science bootcamps, the team at Course Report has been researching, tracking, and sharing updates on the data bootcamp industry since 2013.
