MicroMasters® Program in Statistics and Data Science

The demand for data and analytics professionals is growing rapidly. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, data science skills will drive a 27.9% increase in employment through 2026. Because they can solve complex problems with data and make important decisions, data scientists are valuable to all industries. There is a lot of demand for data scientists. However, 39% of the most challenging positions in data science require a bachelor’.

The MicroMasters program is made up of four online courses and an exam. It will give you the foundational knowledge necessary to understand the tools and methods used in data science and provide hands-on training in machine learning and data analysis. This course will cover the basics of statistics and probability, as well as how to implement and test machine learning algorithms and data analysis techniques. This program will help you become a skilled and knowledgeable practitioner of data science that adds value to your organization. For admitted students, the program certificate can be used towards a PhD (Social and Engineering Systems) at the MIT Institute for Data, Systems and Society (IDSS). It may also accelerate your path to a Master degree at other universities around.

This MicroMasters program is open to anyone. This program is for those who want to get advanced and rigorous training in data sciences without having to leave their job. However, it does not compromise on quality. If you are looking to excel, college-level calculus is required. The courses are taught at the same pace and with the same level of rigor that MIT's on-campus courses. This program offers MIT’, MIT's rigorous, high-quality curricula with a hands-on learning approach for learners around the globe – at large.
