I. Overview
To encourage GRIPS students to take data science-related courses, GRIPS established a Certificate System in Data Science (DS) for Policy Studies in October 2021.
II. Requirements for the DS certificate
1. Must have earned at least 10 credits from "Data Science’s list of eligible credits towards certification".
2. Of the credits in 1. above, at least two credits must be for Core/Basic courses.
Cautionary Points
1. Be sure to apply online before the deadline
Those who wish to obtain a DS certificate must apply online by the relevant deadline.
2. If you have taken the same courses in both Japanese and English
Students who have completed two courses, one in Japanese and one English, whose content is the same (e.g., データサイエンス基礎Deta Saiensu Kiso and Introduction to Data Science I have the same content), the credits for both can be used toward meeting the certificate requirements.
