Gain Long-Term Skills
As data analysis and artificial intelligence replace simple and repetitive tasks,
data-driven skills are increasingly needed by professionals at all levels working
in every industry.
Python is the essential tool for any role that involves data analysis, artificial
intelligence, or machine learning. It’s used to develop large websites, build operating
systems, develop applications for every industry, and even to create video games.
An open-source and general purpose programming language, Python was designed to analyze
any type, variety, and volume of unstructured data including videos, images, audio
files, and text. There is no boundary to what Python can do for technology companies,
banks, nonprofits, and even health care organizations. That means the versatile skills
you gain in this certificate program will be valuable throughout your career.
Earn credits toward a degree
