The Certificate in Applied Data Science is open to any undergraduate student at the University of Alberta. The certificate offers a set of required courses to ensure that students completing it have a good understanding of key areas of modern data science. One of the required courses is a capstone course, which provides the students with the opportunity of applying in practical scenarios the knowledge gained in the other courses. The certificate also offers a set of elective courses that allow the students to apply data science in a particular domain.

To be awarded the certificate students must apply through Bear Tracks with their application to graduate by the application deadline for convocation (see Academic Schedule ).
