Data Science Certificate

Everyone wants the story that comes out of the numbers. You’re one of the few who wants the numbers too—the clean data set, the sleek algorithm, the science behind the magic.

Use this certificate to turn your logical clarity and mathematical focus into a career in data science.

Dig Deep into Big Data

Pivot into artificial intelligence, robotics, bioinformatics, engineering, and more, using OCC’s capstone course on machine learning.

Complete the certificate in a year by taking three courses at a time. Keep it at one or two courses each term and you can still be ready for your next career in two years.

Your classes are online and can flex around your schedule. Depending on your goals, education and experience, this certificate may be all you need to take on the work of a data scientist. If you’ve earned a bachelor’s in a non-technical field, it’s also a great foundation for a data science master’s.

Job Market Outlook

OCC was one of the first Community Colleges in the state to offer a certificate in data science.
