Graduate Certificate in Data Analytics
The Graduate Certificate in Data Analytics gives you hands-on experience in using the full scope of MS Excel to visualize and analyze data to create business insights. In this program, you will gain the skills necessary to pass the Microsoft Office Specialist Certification in Excel. In addition to gaining foundational skills—including various descriptive, predictive, and prescriptive analytics techniques using SAS Base—you will acquire coding skills highly sought after by employers.
This certificate program is designed to be completed part-time in one semester and can be taken on campus or online. You can continue to build on your analytics knowledge by stacking the Graduate Certificate in Data Analytics with our Graduate Certificates in Data Management, Data Science, or Financial Technology. If you apply to the MS in Business Analytics (MSBA) degree program or another graduate business degree program, you may be able to apply the courses in this certificate program to reduce the time it will take to complete your master’s degree.
Courses are taught by leading faculty members at the Sawyer Business School, which is ranked among the best in the world.
