In Collaboration with Flatiron School
伯明翰南方学院推出了加速数据科学项目， 这是阿拉巴马州首个面向本科生的项目， in summer 2021. 365英国上市官网 has engaged Flatiron School, 总部设在纽约的领先教育机构, 将其课程引入到以文科教育的智力严谨性来满足日益增长的数据科学技能需求的项目中.
Throughout the courses, 学生将掌握数据科学关键领域的技能:编程, probability and statistics, and machine learning. 该课程旨在让学生深入了解各种数据科学学科，以便他们能够自信地解决现实世界的问题.
所有本科生(理学士或非理学士)和伯明翰地区的专业人士都可以申请. 不需要先前的数据科学或编程经验. 成功完成12周课程的理学士学生将获得数据科学辅修课程. 非理学士学位的学生和工作的专业人士将获得伯明翰南方学院的数据科学结业证书.
Why Data Science?数据驱动着几乎所有行业和职业的决策. 世界经济论坛(World Economic Forum)预测，到2020年初，全球将存在44zb的数据量. 由于数据量巨大，对数据科学家的需求非常大. A U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics predict 11.5 million job openings in data science by 2026. 然而，根据2018年“燃烧玻璃”的报告，每6个人中就有1个人.4 technology job opportunities in Birmingham, only one position is ultimately filled.
Whether you're currently working in data, planning to enter a new field, or taking classes as a full-time student, 加速数据科学计划将帮助你获得重要的数据和技术技能.
