Data Science Graduate Certificate

The online master’s degree in data science prepares you to succeed in specialized jobs involving everything from the data pipeline and storage to statistical analysis and eliciting the story the data tells. Learn from senior-level engineers and data scientists who will incorporate realistic scenarios in your studies that you have or will encounter as a professional. 

Admission Requirements

• You must meet the general admission requirements that pertain to all graduate certificate candidates.
• Applicants who are interested in taking graduate-level courses, but not necessarily interested in pursuing a full master’s degree are eligible for the Graduate Certificate in Data Science. Applicants are required to meet the same requirements for admission as the master’s degree. 

Certificate Requirements

• Complete the two core courses and two courses selected from the five required courses from the Data Science master’s degree program list below.
• One or more required courses can be waived by your advisor if you have received a grade of a B− or above in equivalent graduate courses. In this case, you may replace the waived required courses with the same number of other graduate Data Science courses and may take these courses after all remaining course requirements have been satisfied.
• Only one C-range grade (C+, C, or C−) can count toward the graduate certificate.
• All course selections outside the four required foundational courses are subject to advisor approval.
