Job growth in this area is in overdrive.

At the end of the program, students will exhibit a deep understanding of how to manage large volumes of data, discover patterns and make inferences from data, use models to make predictions about potential solutions, and quantify the reliability and effectiveness of the outcomes. Equipped with such knowledge and skills, the graduates will make significant contributions towards improving the products, processes, and services offered by commercial and non-commercial organizations as well as the government. The Data Science certificate program will be administered by the Computer Science Department, although some courses may be taught by different departments, and any graduate student meeting admission requirements to the certificate program will be eligible to join it from any other areas.
