Data Modeling Certificate

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.

The mathematical science graduate certificate on data modeling requires taking 4 graduate courses (12 credit hours) with letter grade B- or higher, including 9 credit hours of required courses and 3 credit hours of elective courses.

Total Credit Hours Required: 12 Credit Hours Minimum beyond the Bachelor's Degree

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/.
