Catalog Description

Data is a group of facts that can take many different forms, such as numbers, pictures, words, videos, observations, and more. Data analytics is the collection, transformation, and organization of these facts to draw conclusions, make predictions, and drive informed decision-making.

This program prepares students with fundamental statistics concepts and Python programming skills. Through the data analytics project, students will collect/clean/organize data for analysis, conduct data analysis/calculations, and visualize/present data reports

To earn a certificate of achievement, students must complete each course used to meet a certificate requirement with a “C” grade or higher.

Goal of Program

CTE

Include any other information you would like to share.

Data analysts are in high demand and can be found in a diverse mix of industries. Any company that uses data needs data analysts to analyze it.

This program will help students get the first step into the data analytics field and be more competitive in the workplace with living wage.

There are no data science related courses offered at DVC. Students who successfully complete the statistics course can pursue this program by taking two more courses, Python programming and Intro to Data Science, to obtain the certificate.

Moving forward, this program will include additional existing (MS EXCEL, Database SQL related) courses and possible a new course (R Programming) to more well-prepared students for the future education and career paths.

Please list similar programs at other colleges in the service area which may be impacted, including the name of the college, the name of the program that may be impacted, the name of the person you contacted and the outcome of that contact.

Mission College offers “Data Analyst Associate Certificate of Achievement” https://majors.missioncollege.edu/current/programs/data-analyst-cert.html

Ohlone college offers “Certificate in Data Analysis” (one course) under the community Education service

https://majors.missioncollege.edu/current/programs/data-analyst-cert.html

De Anza college offers few Data Science related courses including, CIS 9 Intro to Data Science (prerequisite – python programming), Data Visualization, Methodology, Database Management, R Programming. But doesn’t offer any Data Science or Data Analytics certificates.
