The modality of the New York Data Analytics fellowship will not change, and will match the other tracks in New York. Most curriculum is delivered through Zoom (Mondays-Wednesday evenings, 6:30-9:30 PM) with one session monthly delivered in person. This session will always occur on a Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday evening from 6:30-9:30 PM, and fellows will meet at Civic Hall in Midtown.

The fellowship is designed to support learners at all experience levels and provide the tools needed for success throughout the program.

New York Data Analytics fellows will be able to get an NYU ID which gives you access to the NYU SPS building in Midtown and 7 E 12th St, access to the NYU Library, NYU Computer/Bookstore student discounts, and invitations to NYU SPS events
