Graduate Certificate in Data Analysis

The Department of Statistics at CSU consistently ranks in the top 50 statistics departments in the US. Colorado State University is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission and a member of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools. The Graduate Certificate in Data Analysis (GCDA) is designed for students who need a solid background in data analysis using modern software. It is intended for professionals or graduate students in diverse fields seeking a short-term program that will strengthen their statistical skills. Those responsible for organizing and analyzing complex data, regardless of what industry, will benefit from this data analysis training. They will discover how to analyze designed experiments, present statistical analysis in tabular and graphical form, communicate results using various data presentation formats to a variety of stakeholders with varying levels of technical skill, and use R software for statistical analysis. Some electives may use additional software such as SAS. In addition, students will learn about appropriate data collection methods and data mining techniques.

Graduate Certificates require the submission of the official transcript that shows your bachelor’s degree awarded. One official transcript issued by the institution where the bachelor’s degree was earned is required. If the transcript does not show the date the degree was awarded, a diploma is required. All records submitted must be in the native language - any credentials written in languages other than English must be accompanied by a certified English translation. Colorado State University transcripts are not required. U.S. degrees must be from a regionally accredited institution to qualify for CSU graduate admission (graduate certificate or degree program).
