Foundational courses elevate your technical and communication skills and select from a variety of electives that allow you to achieve your aspirations.

What made Dr. Will Wei Sun's Data Mining course different was Dr. Sun himself. He brings an extraordinary depth of industry experience into the classroom, including his time as a research scientist at Yahoo, and he has this natural ability to anchor every concept to something real and consequential. Nothing felt abstract or disconnected. Every algorithm, every technique, every methodological choice had a story behind it rooted in how businesses actually use these tools. For someone like me who learns best when I can see the "so what," that approach was everything.
