Data scientists are more in-demand than ever, but how much does it cost to learn data science at a bootcamp? From students looking for free data bootcamps to those wondering if a $17,000 data course is worth it, we understand that cost is important to future bootcampers! Data science bootcamp tuition can range from $7,000 to $18,000, so how do you decide what to budget for? In this guide, we break down the costs of several popular data science schools, plus share financing options, scholarships, and application pre-requisites.

This is a cost comparison of immersive data science bootcamps that are 6 weeks or longer, and most of them include remote pre-work study. We have chosen courses which we think are comparable in course content – they all teach either R or Python (or both) plus SQL, machine learning concepts, and artificial intelligence. All schools listed here have at least one campus in the USA, Canada, or online.
