SYRACUSE — Syracuse University’s School of Information Studies (iSchool) is introducing a new graduate certificate of advanced studies in data science.
The program is the first state-approved certificate of advanced study in this topic area in New York, according to the school. It focuses on giving students and professionals the skills needed to analyze and take advantage of the massive amounts of data proliferating everywhere.
Organizations need those with data science skills to help develop predictive models in areas like clinical research, defense intelligence, customer behavior, medical diagnosis and risk management.
