Course Description

Data science is a multidisciplinary field that seeks to extract knowledge and insight from large data sets.

This program will help you to develop the skills necessary to meet the growing demand for data analysts, data scientists, and statisticians. You will learn new data skills, develop a portfolio through hands on projects, and receive an industry-recognized credential that will help you stand out to hiring managers and recruiters.

Students must complete the following specializations to earn the Data Science MasterTrack Certificate (12 credit)

Data Mining Foundations and Practice Specialization (3 Credits)

Data Science Foundations: Statistical Inference Specialistization (3 credits).

You can choose two specializations from these:

Introduction to Statistical Learning for Data Science Specialization (3 Credits)

Machine Learning Specialization (3 credits).

3 credits Statistical Modeling for Data Science Specialization

The certificate can be stacked and credits can be applied to the Master of Science degree in Data Science on Coursera for students who wish to continue their education.
