Carrie Cheung, Data Scientist at NuData Security, A Mastercard Company
“The MDS program gave me the confidence to explain and reason through data-related decisions.”
Previous Degree: Bachelor of Arts, Double Major in Computer Science and Psychology, University of British Columbia
Program: MDS Vancouver, Class of 2019
When I looked at the [MDS] curriculum, it was a really good range of relevant topics that I could tell was carefully designed and curated to fit within a ten-month window and also included a capstone project. That timeline really appealed to me as someone who was coming in as a working professional wanting to take that plunge but not wanting to do it for two or four year.
