WHY CHOOSE STEVENS
PRACTICAL AI & DATA SCIENCE EDUCATION
This certificate focuses on applied learning-you'll work with real datasets, build production-ready pipelines, and deploy ML models, not just study theory. Every course is AI-enhanced, meaning you'll learn to use AI copilots responsibly to boost your productivity while building deep technical understanding.
Stevens Institute of Technology brings 150+ years of engineering excellence to data science education. Located in the New York metropolitan area, Stevens combines world-class faculty with strong industry connections, ensuring your education reflects current industry practices and emerging technologies.
The certificate bridges the gap between pure data analysis and enterprise AI deployment. You'll learn not just how AI systems work, but how to build them-from data wrangling to model deployment to explainability and ethics.
Certificate Benefits
With credit-bearing courses that stack toward the M.Eng. in Applied Data Science (MEADS), you can test your interest in data science while earning credentials that count toward a full master's degree.
AI-First, Job-Ready Skills
Learn Python, SQL, and ML with an applied AI focus. Build data pipelines, deploy models, and create AI-powered solutions using industry-standard tools like pandas, scikit-learn, and cloud platforms.
Portfolio Projects That Impress
Each course delivers a portfolio artifact: PCA + regression model, ETL pipeline with dashboard, and production-ready ML model with interpretability. These projects become the centerpiece of your job interviews.
AI-Enhanced Learning
Work with AI copilots (LLMs) for debugging and code generation while learning the fundamentals. This mirrors how modern data scientists work-using AI as a productivity multiplier.
Graduate Credit That Stacks
All 9 credits apply toward Stevens' M.Eng. in Applied Data Science (MEADS). Start with the certificate to test the waters, then continue toward a full master's degree if desired.
