I've started taking a couple of Coursera specialization tracts:
Data Science - Johns Hopkins
https://www.coursera.org/specialization/jhudatascience/1 https://www.coursera.org/specialization/jhudatascience/1
Data Mining - UIUC (edit: was Johns Hopkins - bad copy/paste)
https://www.coursera.org/specialization/datamining/20 https://www.coursera.org/specialization/datamining/20
There are more specializations that you can get here:

It's kind of a layer on top of the free courses. I've been pleased so far. They'll also look nice in the education section of your resume, if you care about that.
- ojbyrne 12y agoThe Data Mining one is from UIUC.
- strictnein 12y agoYou're correct. Bad copy/paste on my part.
- acconrad 12y agoWill they actually? Are employers starting to value Coursera courses as valuable educational experience?
- strictnein 12y agoNot sure about the individual courses, but I've seen the certified tracts mentioned in job descriptions, most recently in some data science positions.
