The Department of Mathematics and Computer Science and the Department of Psychology offer an undergraduate and graduate Certification Program in Data Visualization and Analysis. This pioneering program identifies the skills and knowledge that information workers need to succeed. It trains students to communicate information clearly and effectively through graphic depictions that stimulate and encourage viewer engagement. The students learn how to analyze and portray complex data in an attractive and vivid design format. The students practice preparing real-world data for storing in databases, analyzing data with statistics and machine-learning tools, and using visualization in order to study data and present findings.
Who should apply?
The certificates are designed for people who want to explore careers in visualization design or data analytics and who are:
- either professionals who need skills in data visualization and analysis for their careers; or
- university students who want to supplement their education with data visualization and analysis.
The skills learned in the certificate programs are in demand in many industries, such as marketing, finance, insurance, and health care, and in many academic fields, such as business, criminal justice, economics, psychology, sociology, biology, and applied mathematics.
