Credential: Graduate Certificate
Field of Study: Applied Data Science
Program Overview
This certificate provides an official and transcriptable acknowledgement of successful completion of applied data science courses. Additionally, a graduate certificate is a desirable accolade for working professionals to enhance and develop their credentials to advance their careers or to satisfy continuing education requirements for professional licenses and accreditations. This graduate-level university certificate program in applied data science can be awarded to current CWRU graduate students and working professionals who apply to this certificate program.
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.
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.
The graduate-level university certificate program in applied data science is offered and managed through the School of Graduate Studies. If you have specific questions relating to the program, please contact Faculty Director, Prof. Roger French at rxf131@case.edu to learn more.
