Certificate in Decision Data Analytics

This certificate aims to offer students across the campus an opportunity to gain knowledge and experience hands-on practices in Decision Data Analytics. There is an increasing market demand for decision data scientists, who are equipped with the talents to manage and analyze data and apply the results to fine decision-making, in a variety of economic, social, and scientific fields. The certificate is designed to turn S&T students into data-driven professionals through a case study and project-based curriculum where they will learn by doing. A unique feature of this certificate is that corporate executives will teach 50% of the certificate (one course on Data Intelligence and another course on Data Insights) so that students learn valuable perspectives from today’s marketplace. This four-course Decision Data Analytics certificate develops the knowledge and skills in programming, economic modeling, forecasting, econometrics, and data analytics necessary to play a leading role in decision-making at private corporations, government agencies, and international organizations.

Missouri S&T seeks international students who have a strong probability of succeeding at the university. Admission is selective and based on a combination of secondary school core curriculum (a set of required secondary school classes), ACT and/or SAT composite scores (if available), grade point average (GPA), and class rank percentile. (For non-ranking schools, GPA will be used to evaluate your application).International students must fulfill the same admission requirements as domestic applicants, but standardized test scores (ACT or SAT) are not required but should be submitted if available. Meeting the minimum requirements, however, does not guarantee admission, nor does it guarantee admission to a particular program. Missouri S&T appreciates well-rounded students and evaluates each application individually.
