Data analytics and data science jobs hold a top-three spot on Glassdoor’s 50 Best Jobs in America for 2021. An appealing $113,000 median base salary, the ability to work in various industries, and consistent sector growth keep data scientists desired in the job market.

Employers in this swiftly changing landscape favor candidates with strong programming and applied data science backgrounds.
A big strength of the data analytics certificate is how interactive and practical the courses are. The weekly session brings everyone together, and the final team project gives students the opportunity to become confident with the tools they've learned while engaging in the sort of experience that scales very well to real-world job situations.
