No work experience with data science and statistics specifically, but worked a lot with Python through summer research and work projects... not so much with R but it wasn’t too awful. If I’m not mistaken, there are classes in Excel you can choose to take if programming isn’t your strong suit, but in terms of scheduling so that you can graduate quickly, it may hold you back a bit. There was a SQL class and I have taken two SQL courses before I started and used it at work regularly. Also picked up on it in my free time so I wasn’t completely unfamiliar. I ended up sitting in on a graduate-level Data Mining course at a local university in my spare time, which helped with a few of my courses. I was working full-time the entire time.
Each course is 4 weeks long, one assignment per week plus a final assignment I believe. I definitely remember some of my assignments being pretty in-depth, but when I took the courses they were generous because they understood the needs of working individuals and allowed you to miss one assignment.
Might be a bit of a challenge without experience though. Not impossible, but you would definitely have to at least have some familiarity with Excel, coding or math.
