I cannot stress enough how excellent a program this is. I took the Applied Data Science program, and it was the most theoretically dense, rigorous, practical, immersive and supportive learning experience I have ever taken (in person or online!). My program manager Shikha was instrumental in making sure I remained on track—she consistently went above and beyond to encourage me and make sure I had everything I needed to benefit from the material and stay motivated (she supported me through many obstacles—life happens). If you know your purpose in taking the course, I promise you that you will learn hard skills fast, and not only are the faculty super supportive, but the lectures are just enjoyable and very human. There is truly a sense of community, and there is always a chance to engage with your classmates and mentors in a way that rivals any in-person experience. I will forever recommend this program, and the Great Learning platform, to everyone I know. Thank you Shikha from the bottom of my heart for contributing such an encouraging and friendly energy to the overall atmosphere of the course. I am also excited to continue exploring the wealth of resources that remains accessible after completion.

This is an excellent program featuring live virtual sessions with MIT faulty members, weekend mentor sessions, and outstanding support from program managers.  The course materials are dense but super helpful.  There are weekly assignments and checkpoints to help students stay on track.  I highly recommend it.

I went into this course uncertain whether I'd be able to truly grasp the material, because I had only the most basic knowledge of probability and statistics. Through Great Learning, MIT provided an education that met me exactly where I was, and brought me all the way through to complete all learning objectives, in a way I could confidently apply in my personal and professional life. Shikha Singh, my Program Manager, kept in frequent context with me, helped me overcome obstacles, and provided the kind of support I needed when I was feeling unsure or confused. I highly recommend Great Learning and the MIT PE ADS course!
