"The program's hands-on learning experience was genuinely enjoyable and immensely valuable in rapidly improving my coding and machine learning abilities.
During my time at Eastern, the online program's self-paced format proved to be an invaluable asset. Not only did it provide me with the opportunity to complete my degree in a shorter period, but it also offered the much-needed flexibility to balance my work and church commitments effectively. The freedom to progress at my own preferred speed enabled me to thoroughly grasp the course content and delve into specific subjects that piqued my interest.
Eastern's program has played a crucial role in preparing me for my chosen career path. The program's format helped hone my time management skills and helped me develop the ability to remain motivated to consistently deliver effective and efficient solutions, which are invaluable skills for working remotely."

“I loved the practical experience that I was able to get in some of my classes. I always was able to get help when I got stuck, but the graduate assistants were so good about letting me struggle as well. One of my classes, a data wrangling class, has great applications for real life and is a valuable skill. I was also able to homeschool my kids through Covid while getting my master’s degree.
Even though I’m not currently working in the data science field, I am using the problem solving skills I gained in the program daily.”
