CrossDiscipline Prerequisite Bootcamp (Cohort-Based)

A 10-week cohort-based bootcamp (2 cohorts per year, 20-30 students each) designed specifically for physics/STEM graduates preparing for economics or data science master's programs. Covers the exact math, statistics, and domain knowledge gaps these candidates face, taught by instructors who have successfully made similar transitions. Includes live problem-solving sessions, peer study groups, and a capstone project that demonstrates readiness to admissions committees.

COURSE

31 weeks • 70% confidence

Value Proposition

Solves the 'I don't know what I don't know' problem: candidates learn exactly what economics/data science programs expect, fill prerequisite gaps in 10 weeks instead of taking a full semester, and build a portfolio piece (capstone) that strengthens admissions applications. Peer cohort creates accountability and networking (many will attend the same programs).

Target Audience

STEM graduates (physics, engineering, math) applying to economics, business analytics, or data science master's programs in the next 6-12 months; primarily ages 25-40 with 2-5 years work experience.

Key Features

Modules: calculus-based probability, econometrics fundamentals, microeconomics theory, time series analysis, Python for data analysis
Live weekly problem-solving sessions (Thursdays 7pm ET) where instructors work through real admissions-level problems
Peer study groups (4-5 students) matched by target program and background
And more, with full implementation detail...

Tech Stack

Mighty Networks or Circle (community platform) Loom (video hosting and recording) Google Classroom or Notion (assignment submission and tracking) Stripe (payment processing)

Original Problem

Career changers struggle to justify and execute cross-disciplinary degree transitions without clear guidance

Physics graduates considering economics master's programs face uncertainty about prerequisite gaps, admissions requirements, and whether their background is sufficient—with no clear pathway to evaluate fit or prepare. Current solutions (generic admissions websites, scattered forum advice) fail to provide personalized assessment of transferability and concrete preparation strategies, leaving candidates uncertain about feasibility and wasting time on applications to mismatched programs.
