So I think first to mention is that I'm an international student, I'm from Germany, and I did my undergraduate in business administration with a focus on marketing. I chose that subject because I was interested in how people act and what they think. And, that's a reason I chose that field of study and then through a job in a company in a software company in the marketing department, I first got exposed to data, and I realized that they have a lot of data, but that they don't really take the value out of the data and don't really have sophisticated ways of dealing with the data and talking to my supervisor there, I realize that this is something that I'm interested in, and that has a lot of potential in the future and that's how I came to data science

I'm just beginning the program, so I don't have have a lot of classes yet, but the classes I have I'm enjoying, especially the ones that talk about the algorithms that one can use to like you get insides out off the data., also the class intro to Business Analytics was really interesting as it teaches one of the programming language R that is used overall the course that I have so far. I mean, it teaches it pretty slowly. So for one like me, who doesn't have a lot of experience in programming that was really invaluable, especially I look forward to courses like data mining and analytics decision models. That's how those classes are called, especially because there's so much data on the web, which is free and you just need some tools to get that data and send the analytics decision models class because I like the way that data is used to guide decisions and, that's the reason I'm looking forward to those classes which I will take next semester.

Like I said, I'm just in the beginning of the program, so I'm also beginning at this university, so I have not used a lot of the resources yet, however, for once the curriculum that the program has seemed for me really well thought and that it takes all parts that could be useful for the future in the job like it tackles all those important parts as far as the curriculum says. I also got an introduction to the career services that are provided by the university, which are really good and I already had a meeting with my career advisor who can help me find a job but also can help me how can I present myself in front of employees, which is very valuable and especially the curriculum, what I like, there is something called the capstan class where you will work with a company together. And, you have a real case, you have a real setting, and I had something similar in my undergrad and I really got value out of that. So, as far as I can tell from just the beginning of the program, the program will prepare me pretty well for my future career.
