What Former Boot Camp Students Are Saying

  • “As someone unfamiliar with a ‘boot camp’ for any skill set, this program exceeded expectations. The course was rigorous, intense, and challenging. However, the support I received from my class instructor and teaching assistants was great, so I never felt alone when a certain line of code wasn’t running properly. This course has kickstarted a new career in something I’m passionate about.”

    Tyler H.

  • “I felt the pace of the program was just right and the homework exercises and group projects really solidified the material being introduced during class time. I chose to attend the data analysis and visualization boot camp, because I wanted to solidify my coding skills in Python and gain more skills and experience in visualizing data and data trends. This boot camp enabled me to transition to a position that was more involved in bioinformatics analysis than the one I had previously.”

    James A.

  • “The UNC-Chapel Hill (…) Boot Camp was a complete game changer for me!! I’m so glad I discovered this course. I’ve learned so much in the past six months and I’ve successfully switched careers from being a teacher! The journey was challenging but it was definitely worth it. I’m so excited to see where this next chapter takes me!”

    Kristi M.
