Absolutely. Data science bootcamps offer a comprehensive and efficient way to learn the skills you need to become a data scientist. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, data science employment opportunities are expected to grow by 35.8% by 2031, much faster than the national average. By completing a data science bootcamp, you'll be equipped with the necessary skills and knowledge to pursue these lucrative opportunities. At Springboard, 90.6% of job-qualified individuals in our Data Science Career Track bootcamp received a job offer within 12 months of graduation. The average salary increase of students who provided pre- and post-course salaries is $25,911.

Yes, you can. While a traditional four-year degree in data science or a related field can be helpful, it is not a prerequisite for becoming a data scientist. Many successful data scientists have gained the necessary skills and knowledge through bootcamps and other intensive programs. In fact, according to a survey by Kaggle, around 30% of data scientists in the industry today have a degree in a non-computing field.

Coding is an essential component of data science. However, the amount of coding required can vary depending on the specific job or project. In Springboard's data science bootcamp, you'll learn to code in Python, one of the most popular programming languages used in data science. You'll also gain hands-on experience working with real-world datasets and building machine learning models, all of which require coding skills.

The time it takes to learn data science depends on several factors, including your prior experience with coding and statistics, as well as the intensity and duration of your training. In Springboard's data science bootcamp, you can complete the program in as little as six months if you dedicate 20 hours per week to studying. However, our flexible program allows you to complete the curriculum faster if you can dedicate more time.

A data science bootcamp is an intensive training program that provides students with the skills and knowledge they need to become data scientists. In Springboard's data science bootcamp, you'll learn essential data science concepts such as statistical analysis, machine learning, and data visualization. Over six months, you’ll learn the core skills needed to succeed as a data scientist by exploring and working through the six steps of the data science method. Three capstone projects, hands-on projects, practice with popular data science tools, and specialization tracks reinforce your learning and help you build a powerful portfolio.
