Data Modeling

Program Description

The Mathematical Science Graduate Certificate on Data Modeling is designed for students to gain knowledge of mathematical modeling and analytics techniques for data extraction, and to prepare their career on data analyst and data architect.

All required courses will be offered to accommodate distance learning by posting recorded lectures (Modality V) or Web-based instruction (Modality W), and offering scheduled online problem sessions and office hours. However, the elective option or program prerequisites may not be offered online. Newly admitted students choosing to complete this program exclusively via UCF online classes may enroll with a reduction in campus-based fees.

Please Note: Data Modeling Graduate Certificate may be completed fully online, although not all elective options or program prerequisites may be offered online. Newly admitted students choosing to complete this program exclusively via UCF online classes may enroll with a reduction in campus-based fees.

International students (F or J visa) are required to enroll in a full-time course load of 9 credit hours during the fall and spring semesters. Only 3 of the 9 credit hours may be taken in a completely online format. For a detailed listing of enrollment requirements for international students, please visit http://global.ucf.edu/. If you have questions, please consult UCF Global at 407-823-2337.

UCF is not authorized to provide online courses or instruction to students in some states. Refer to State Restrictions for current information.
