This Udacity executive program helped me understand the practical aspects of data science in a business context. The opportunity to present a set of data science initiatives to a (virtual) CEO was great. It is very practical for the type of individual(s) who will take up this degree. So I would definitely recommend this to any senior executives who are required to build a data science team and need a clear direction on this front.
