Why study Data Science?
The data science graduate certificate (fifteen credit hours) is a collaborative program among business analytics, computer science, and information systems. This certificate program prepares students to apply both data management and analytic techniques (including statistical and data/text mining approaches) to extract meaningful insights from both structured and unstructured data. Students acquire hands-on experience with relevant analytics and data management tools, programming languages, data models, and IT architectures for data integration, analysis and visualization. Working in teams, students communicate results of analysis effectively (visually and verbally) to a broad audience.
