Foundations of Data Science Certificate

students studying analytics in the learning commons

Are you ready to build a solid foundation in data science and open doors to advanced opportunities in this rapidly growing field?

The Foundations of Data Science certificate program provides students with a solid math, programming, and algorithmic foundation in Data Science. Students will understand the key statistical theory that underlies data science, as well as become proficient in using both R and Python, two key programming languages used by data scientists. For students with a strong programming background, they will study how to communicate critical ideas through data.  

The course then ties these key skills with the fundamental algorithms related to machine learning in data science. This certificate can be a strong standalone certificate or can provide the foundational knowledge upon which to earn either the Data Analytics or the Core Technologies of Data Sciences and Data Analytics certificates.
