The Mini-Bachelor Data Science program opens doors to careers in the big data revolution. It offers 5 domain-agnostic courses and 5 domain-specific courses, providing students with a comprehensive understanding of data science principles and their applications in various fields. Upon completion, students receive a Mini-Bachelor DS certificate, signifying proficiency in data science skills, boosting career prospects in fields where actionable insights from big data are highly valued.
Upon completion, students will be able to apply data science principles within specific domains such as biology, ecology, or public health. They will also acquire proficiency in statistics and machine learning to solve real-world problems, assess and critique data mining algorithms, and effectively communicate findings using visualization tools and ethical considerations.
The program utilizes competency-based learning assessment, allowing students to progress at flexible paces. Completion of 3 Data Science courses from the 10 listed, along with a summer research workshop or data-intensive internship, qualifies students for the Mini-Bachelor DS certificate.
Yes, the DS program is flexible and can be combined with your current undergraduate degree at our partner universities. This allows you to create a personalized learning path that aligns with your academic goals.
