Data Science Graduate Certificate

In today’s world, managing a business or organization is more science than art. The Data Science certificate is a post-baccalaureate certificate that equips you with a data science skill set in demand by employers. Data science and machine learning employ a collection of models, methods, and algorithms to help you making well-informed, data-driven decisions. You will learn the theoretical background of these techniques and how to implement them using common programming languages. Incorporating numerous case studies, the courses are designed to enhance your data interpretation skills.
