Data Analytics Micro-credential


Return to {$returnto_text} Return to: Micro-credentials

The data science programs prepare students for the analysis of data-driven problems within their major discipline. They are intended to supplement traditional statistical analysis, open doors for new types of analysis, and expose students to current techniques in the emerging field. Additionally, several courses in the program (as well as optional internships and capstone projects) have the students apply these techniques to real-world problems. Tangible results of this experiential component - in the form of pdfs of posters and/or presentations - can be uploaded to the D2L Data Analytics Program shell which can be transferred to the student’s D2L portfolio.
