Healthcare Data Science and AI, Advanced Graduate Certificate

The continued explosive growth of health data has created great opportunities to improve the quality and delivery of patient care and a great need for professionals with the knowledge and skills to retrieve, interpret, and act on that data. Occupational data across several job categories show continued projected growth in healthcare data science-related jobs at anywhere from 10% to nearly 20% over the next 10 years, well above national averages.

This graduate certificate provides foundational data science skills (R and Python programming, statistical analysis, data modeling) that are increasingly essential for many industries, but also adds exposure to and practice with the unique complexities of health data and the care that must be taken in handling them. Courses in statistical analysis and predictive modeling provide hands-on experience analyzing real health data sets, which are often messy and unstructured, while courses in data visualization and healthcare data science leadership emphasize how to effectively communicate analytics insights to stakeholders across an organization.
