Why this certificate?
The Data Engineering Graduate Certificate, offered through the Department of Computer Science and Software Engineering, is available online and on campus to both degree and non-degree-seeking students. The certificate prepares students to analyze data statistical learning, create machine learning solutions, interpret patterns, develop and design applications, and communicate big data concepts with non-technical stakeholders.
Who is eligible?
- Those who hold a bachelor's degree in engineering or equivalent from an institution of recognized standing are eligible (exceptions may be approved if the student has the background needed to succeed in the graduate engineering courses).
- There is no GRE requirement.
- There is no recommendation letter requirement.
What can you expect?
- Students who complete the graduate certificate will demonstrate proficiency in depth knowledge, skills, and experiences in data engineering.
- Students who complete the graduate certificate will have the ability to process, manage, and analyze massive data sets.
- If a student chooses to pursue a master's, all academic credit earned from the certificate may be applied toward the graduate degree.
