“Being able to complete an internship while doing my master’s was key to gaining valuable experience and pivoting my career. The focused career sessions with alumni also helped me build genuine connections and get meaningful advice. In my current role, the emphasis PRIME placed on getting out of the building, talking to people, and defining problems clearly has been central to my everyday work.”

“ Brown’s program encompassed leadership and ”people” skills, that I could put into use immediately.

Data Collection Process
The Data Collection Process
Every data science project begins with data collection, and real-world data is often quite messy. It’s crucial to understand exactly how the data is gathered and what assumptions are made in the estimates to properly interpret the insights.
After students graduate from the program, we collect their LinkedIn profiles. These profiles help us estimate post-graduation employment rates, track the industries our alumni work in, the companies they join, and their current job titles. We review everyone’s LinkedIn profile at specific time points post-graduation to gather this data. As you can imagine, there are a few challenges with this process:
- While most students create a LinkedIn profile, a few do not.
- Not everyone keeps their profiles up-to-date. Sometimes, we hear the great news that an alumni has landed a job, but their LinkedIn profile doesn’t reflect this.
