In an effort to give students the opportunity to expand and deepen their expertise in data analysis, the Department of Political Science and Public Administration offers a four-course graduate-level certificate program. The certificate program is open to those who have completed a bachelor’s degree, including those AUM students currently enrolled in the Master of Public Administration program.
The Certificate in Data Analysis and Policy Evaluation provides students with the essential training they need to develop strong data analysis skills—both with respect to the ability to analyze data and the ability to explain their data analysis in written, visual, and verbal communication. Students work closely with faculty members who are experts in this area.
