The Master of Science in Biotechnology and Management degree with Data Science Post-Baccalaureate Certificate requires the successful completion of 39 credit hours, including a capstone project.

The post-baccalaureate certificate in Data Science is an online program designed for professionals from diverse backgrounds and disciplines with a goal to build on the subject matter expertise within the individual applicant’s professional and educational experiences. It is designed to provide participants with the knowledge and skills necessary to contribute at an expanded level within a highly data-centric world. Participants will develop skills within key technology areas, key computational areas, and key application areas without presumed prior knowledge specific to these areas. The full certificate curriculum consists of five required courses each building on expertise from previously completed courses.

These programs are available to be completed fully online asynchronous and/or synchronous.
