Welcome to DATA 510: Data Science Capstone!

Over the course of the semester, students will propose, plan and execute a large data science project. Run as a small-group collaboration during the student’s last term, the project requires a synthesis of all core skills learned throughout the program, simultaneously developing a portfolio piece that markets a student’s skills to future employers. Such marketing also requires that project data be publically available or publishable. Checkpoints are provided throughout the summer to ensure students are making meaningful progress, with robust opportunities for peer and faculty feedback provided. Projects culminate with a presentation to faculty, peers, and alumni, as well as a comprehensive written work that is published to the web.
