Data Science 101
What Is the Difference Between Data Science and Data Analytics?
If you want to become a Data Scientist, you should know this is not the same thing as becoming a Data Analyst, which is typically a more junior position. A Data Scientist, generally speaking, has more technical knowledge and expertise, and data science positions are usually more senior in nature compared to data analysis positions.
BrainStation’s Data Science course can be considered an intermediate-level data science course, as it dives into prescriptive and predictive analytics, machine learning, artificial intelligence, statistical analysis, and programming languages. BrainStation’s Data Analytics course, on the other hand, is more beginner-friendly with a focus on descriptive analytics, business intelligence, and the industry-standard tools and software Data Analysts need to learn to use like Microsoft Excel and SQL databases.
