Admission Requirements
Applicants who have already completed a master’s degree in Data Science or a very closely related field, such as Applied Statistics, are eligible to apply for the Post-Master’s Certificate in Data Science. Coursework should have included graduate level algorithms and graduate level statistics.
Exceptions to these requirements, based on experience, can be made by the program chairs.
Program Requirements
Five courses must be completed within five years. At least three (3) courses must be from a focus area of which two (2) must be 700-level. The two (2) remaining courses can be any Data Science program course of which at least one (1) must be 700-level.
Only grades of B– or above can be counted toward the post-master’s certificate. One graduate course taken outside of JHU and not applied toward a graduate or other degree may be considered toward the Data Science Post-Master’s Certificate, subject to advisor approval. All course selections outside of the Data Science program requirements are subject to advisor approval.
