Statistical Data Science, Certificate

The Certificate in Statistical Data Science provides an opportunity for those who already have a Bachelor's degree to acquire additional data analytics skills.  With a variety of courses to choose from, the certificate program can be tailored to one's particular needs or interests.  The courses are taught from an applications perspective, so they are accessible to students from a variety of technical and non-technical backgrounds.  Because many of the courses are available either in the evenings or through an online format, the certificate can be completed by those whose job or family responsibilities preclude attending daytime classes.
