How do you ensure ethical practices?
Our curriculum includes an ethics module in every track. We avoid dark patterns and emphasize informed consent, transparency, and measurable benefits.
What background do I need?
No formal economics degree required. Basic familiarity with spreadsheets and experiments is helpful; prerequisites are listed per course.
How are assessments graded?
Assessments are rubric-based with clear criteria: problem framing, hypothesis quality, measurement plan, and evidence of learning from data.
Can I switch cohorts or defer?
Yes, you can defer once to a later cohort within 6 months, subject to capacity.
Do you cover regulated domains?
We cover ethical design in finance and health contexts without making medical or financial promises. Compliance topics are frameworks, not legal advice.
