Our Students
“The impact of data science is only increasing as concepts such as AI and algorithms become more prevalent in industries and daily life. Entering as a first-year student without any prior knowledge of coding or machine learning, I felt overwhelmed. My professors were understanding and patient in helping me, and I’m confident that I’ll be prepared to apply what I’ve gained from Bryant in the real world.”

“I chose a data science degree due to its versatility, which extends beyond the traditional business field. I can leverage it across industries. Before Bryant, I never thought I would be someone who could code. However, with help from my professor, I learned the basics of the Python programming language during my first year. It’s a tool that data scientists use every day.”
