University-Run Boot Camps Offer Students Marketable Skills \u2014 but Not Course Credit<\/a> <\/strong>— from chronicle.com by Ellen Wexler<\/p>\n

Excerpt (emphasis DSC):<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Level, a venture that offers students courses in data analytics, has a motto of sorts. It\u2019s written in large letters across the program\u2019s website:<\/a> \u201cReal skills. Real experience. Two months.\u201d<\/p>\n

The motto sounds a lot like the boot-camp style of education offered by companies like General Assembly.<\/a> But Level, a product of Northeastern University, is neither a private company nor a Silicon Valley startup. It is one of the first boot-camp programs created by a traditional university,<\/strong> <\/span>and it exists alongside Northeastern\u2019s master\u2019s programs in subjects such as urban informatics and information design and visualization.<\/p>\n
