"The program has already helped me with my career goals because I received a job offer with Pfizer, before finishing my degree. The curriculum grounded me in three key data science programming languages like SAS, R, and Python, which I use every day in my job. From building reports and presenting facts to study teams during clinical trials, this program enhanced my data exploitation and visualization skills using marketplace software programs." - Eric Ngomba G'18
