The Graduate Certificate in Data Science and Engineering (GCDSE) requires 15 credit hours. Working with their advisor, students should avoid choosing courses that overlap with those completed during their undergraduate studies. If an elective course duplicates material from a previously taken class within any of the five core theme areas, students must choose a different course from that same area or select from another core theme, maintaining the requirement of 9 credits across three of the five Core Theme Areas.
This 15-credit graduate program offers both online and on-campus completion, serving as an ideal pathway for those exploring graduate education before committing to a full master's program. All certificate coursework can later be applied toward a master's degree if desired.

Qualification Requirements

Applicants to the data science and engineering program should have at least one college level statistics course in their backgrounds. Admitted students have the opportunity to become familiar with various data science, data mining, data engineering, business analytics, machine learning, and artificial intelligence topics. Computer programming, statistics germane to data science, and systems knowledge may be picked up as part of the program if applicants don't already have these foundations. Applicants with undergraduate degrees in computer science, engineering, math, and similar fields (i.e. those with two semesters of calculus and calculus-based statistics) have the opportunity to pursue higher level machine learning and artificial intelligence fundamentals and theory courses along with applications of advanced AI methods addressing real-world problems. The multiple paths to graduation make the new program highly flexible in meeting individual student needs.
A Bachelor's degree is required for non-degree, certificate, master's, C.A.S., Ed.S., and doctoral programs.
