Education
We conduct many classes, boot camps, workshops, and informational sessions usually led by TDA members to teach our membership the necessary technology & analytics skills to succeed while on the job. These sessions supplement the academic classes taught by our professors and are designed to be shorter with a focus on the tools & applications you will use on the job.
Some of the courses & boot camps offered in the past:
Intro to SQL

Programming is only available to TDA members. Please keep a lookout on the slack and email to register for these opportunities.
No matter what your planned career path is, there are classes CBS offers that will help prepare you for that field. Did you know that Columbia Business School offers the largest elective class selection of any top Business School?
