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 Bryantin 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 91AV, 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.”
