Requirements for the Certificate (16 credits)

Notes:

* Course requires approval before it can be used for this certificate (special topics, special assignments,research, etc). Course titles already approved are listed below.
** Project must be approved by the College Representative on the Applications In Data Science Curriculum Committee.
A minimum of 6 credits must be in coursework outside the student's major requirements.
Each course can only be used once towards certificate completion; cannot count toward multiple areas.
A grade of C- or better must be earned in any course used to fulfill the certificate. Students may also use a Pass(P) in any course used to fulfill the certificate.
Students with a Data Science major are not permitted to receive the Applications In Data Science Certificate.
Transfer credit brought in as an equivalent course is allowed to apply to the certificate requirements; undistributed transfer credit cannot be applied.
