What is data analytics?  

Data analytics is the science of analyzing raw data to draw business insights. Data is collected, transformed, and organized to make predictions, draw conclusions, and drive informed decisions. Data analytics is a dynamic and surging profession—with opportunities growing in every industry.

Like in our other tracks, the Data Analytics curriculum is split into "hard" and "soft" skills — because every successful career requires Head, Heart, and Hustle.

This recent report from the World Economic Forum lists data analysts and scientists first on its list of roles with increasing demand.

Thanks to our Grow with Google partners, we are able to offer the Google Data Analytics Certificate as part of our core technical skills learning where program participants gain working knowledge of essential data analysis platforms — including spreadsheets, SQL, Tableau and R programming, leading to increased opportunities in creating new career pathways.

Launch your career in data analytics 

COOP Careers Fellowship teaches you the fundamentals and skills that will prepare you for a high-growth data analyst job. Students will develop a solid understanding of data analysis techniques by working with databases and creating visualizations using tools like Excel, SQL, and Tableau.

Upon completion of the fellowship, alumni gain access to our extensive alumni network and resources.

Data analytics alumni: career journey

COOP’s Data Analytics curriculum is comprehensive and well-structured, covering both theoretical concepts and practical tools used in the field. Fellows get to practice entry-level job responsibilities in data analytics through our hands-on capstone project.

The capstone project offers our fellows the opportunity to demonstrate and refine their technical and soft skills in real-time. Fellows collaborate in small groups to derive data driven insights that replicate entry level job responsibilities in data Analytics.

Completing the capstone project results in a deliverable—such as a report or presentation—that serves as a tangible work-like experience they can leverage during their career search and highlight during job interviews.
