1. In-person educational outcomes exceed offline
Technical training could be learned solo during the wee hours of the night, but understanding how technical tools apply to real problems requires learning face-to-face. Willamette's Data Science certificate program places students in direct contact with faculty who can guide students toward the knowledge, skills, and curiosity that drive value in their organization. The program embeds students in a network of select students, professionals, and faculty members that will cultivate, support, and promote their careers years into the future.
