This IBM Applied Data Science Professional Certificate on Coursera offers a hands-on opportunity to perform applied data science methods, models, and techniques to a real-world problem.

In collaboration with IBM, the University of Colorado Boulder is offering graduate-level university credit for those who have completed the IBM Professional Certificate and are enrolled in CU’s Master of Science in Data Science (MS-DS) program. To receive 1 credit toward your Master of Science in Data Science (MS-DS) program at the University of Colorado, Boulder, you will need to:

  • Upload your certificate of completion from the IBM Applied Data Science Capstone Course (last course in the specialization), and
  • Pass a graded assessment covering the material that was learned in the Capstone Course.

In this course, you will:

  • Validate the completion of the IBM Professional Certificate by uploading a Coursera- approved certificate of completion for the IBM Applied Data Capstone course. Students who have not completed the IBM Applied Data Science Capstone course at the time of enrollment will be manually enrolled in the course within 48 hours of enrollment.
  • Demonstrate knowledge of applied data science concepts from the IBM Professional Certificate on Coursera by passing a cumulative assessment which directly tests material presented in the IBM Applied Data Capstone course.

This course can be taken for academic credit as part of CU Boulder’s Master of Science in Data Science (MS-DS) degree offered on the Coursera platform. The MS-DS is an interdisciplinary degree that brings together faculty from CU Boulder’s departments of Applied Mathematics, Computer Science, Information Science, and others. With performance-based admissions and no application process, the MS-DS is ideal for individuals with a broad range of undergraduate education and/or professional experience in computer science, information science, mathematics, and statistics. Learn more about the MS-DS program.
