Credential: Graduate Certificate
Field of Study: Applied Data Science
Program Overview
Data science is an area of specialization in the core fields of computer science, statistics and epidemiology. The transformations seen from data science advances have become so broad that they now cut across all areas of endeavor and are seeing transformative impact in a breadth of disciplines including science, engineering, medicine, and business.
Data science and its associated statistical and machine learning and artificial intelligence approaches are transforming research, science, and society, as can be seen by the impact of Digital Transformation and the beginning of the 4th industrial revolution, commonly referred to as Industry 4.0.
Data science is an area of specialization in the core fields of computer science, statistics and epidemiology. The transformations seen from data science advances have become so broad that they now cut across all areas of endeavor and are seeing transformative impact in a breadth of disciplines including science, engineering, medicine, and business.
With this broad reach, applicability, and utility of applied data science across all academic areas, the graduate certificate in applied data science is a lucrative way for students to demonstrate their knowledge of this skill set.
