"They made coding understandable and enjoyable. By the time it came to finalizing the capstone project, I was using R to create data visualizations and everything. The program gave me excellent tools to assess policy."

"IPAL successfully provided me with the perspective of public policy. I learned a lot about Excel and R—cleaning, searching, and conducting statistical analysis on data. But perhaps even more valuable to me was learning the process of writing an academic essay."
