Data Science Certificate

Data Science Certificate 1

Students will develop skills to study real world problems and then design and implement appropriate solutions.

Data Science Certificate 2

Students will develop the ability to create appropriate data management plans in scientific, business, government, or industrial contexts.

Data Science Certificate 3

Students will develop the ability to design experiments for the purpose of assessing meaningful causal inferences.

Data Science Certificate 4

Students will develop skills to apply and evaluate modern model selection methods for the purpose of describing relationships between variables and making predictions.

Data Science Certificate 5

Students will develop the ability to identify appropriate data structures, and statistical techniques for problems involving large data sets including Big Data.

Data Science Certificate 6

Students will develop programming skills to use data analysis functions and libraries in practical data science problems using modern software.

Data Science Certificate 7

Students will develop skills to use data mining methods including data integration, transformation, visualization, classification, and clustering in real world projects.

Data Science Certificate 8

Students will develop the ability to draw appropriate conclusions and to recommend decisions based on analysis of data while recognizing the effect of assumptions and the limitations of the analysis.

Data Science Certificate 9

Students will develop the ability to draw distinctions between statistically significant differences and practical ones, and to make appropriate decisions based on these conclusions.

Data Science Certificate 10

Students will develop the ability to anticipate and identify sources of response bias and variance, and to interpret these sources in practically meaningful ways.
