Graduate Certificate in Data Science

The Data Science program, jointly offered by the Departments of Computer Science in the College of Engineering and Mathematics in the College of Arts & Sciences, prepares students for leadership positions in data analytics, information management, and knowledge engineering. The Data Science Graduate Certificate provides students with tools and training in data analytics and discovery informatics, which integrates mathematics and computer science for the quantification and manipulation of information from a cognate area of application (e.g., science, engineering, business, sociology, healthcare, planning). Emphasis is placed on merging strong foundations in information theory, mathematics, and computer science with current methodologies and tools to enable data-driven discovery, problem-solving, and decision-making.
