#1.Applied Data Science with Python Specialization<\/a><\/h2>\n

The 5 courses in this University of Michigan specialization introduce learners to data science through the python programming language. This skills-based specialization is intended for learners who have basic a python or programming background, and want to apply statistical, machine learning, information visualization, text analysis, and social network analysis techniques through popular python toolkits such as pandas, matplotlib, scikit-learn, nltk, and networkx to gain insight into their data.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Introduction to Data Science in Python (course 1), Applied Plotting, Charting & Data Representation in Python (course 2), and Applied Machine Learning in Python (course 3) should be taken in order and prior to any other course in the specialization. After completing those, courses 4 and 5 can be taken in any order. All 5 are required to earn a certificate.<\/p>\n

#2.Business Analytics<\/a><\/h2>\n

This Specialization provides an introduction to big data analytics for all business professionals, including those with no prior analytics experience. You\u2019ll learn how data analysts describe, predict, and inform business decisions in the specific areas of marketing, human resources, finance, and operations, and you\u2019ll develop basic data literacy and an analytic mindset that will help you make strategic decisions based on data. In the final Capstone Project, you\u2019ll apply your skills to interpret a real-world data set and make appropriate business strategy recommendations.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

#3.Data Science<\/a><\/h2>\n

This Specialization covers the concepts and tools you’ll need throughout the entire data science pipeline, from asking the right kinds of questions to making inferences and publishing results. In the final Capstone Project, you\u2019ll apply the skills learned by building a data product using real-world data. At completion, students will have a portfolio demonstrating their mastery of the material.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

#4.Deep Learning<\/a><\/h2>\n

In five courses, you will learn the foundations of Deep Learning, understand how to build neural networks, and learn how to lead successful machine learning projects. You will learn about Convolutional networks, RNNs, LSTM, Adam, Dropout, BatchNorm, Xavier\/He initialization, and more. You will work on case studies from healthcare, autonomous driving, sign language reading, music generation, and natural language processing. You will master not only the theory, but also see how it is applied in industry. You will practice all these ideas in Python and in TensorFlow, which we will teach.<\/p>\n

You will also hear from many top leaders in Deep Learning, who will share with you their personal stories and give you career advice.<\/p>\n

AI is transforming multiple industries. After finishing this specialization, you will likely find creative ways to apply it to your work.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

#5.Excel to MySQL: Analytic Techniques for Business Specialization<\/a><\/h2>\n

In this Specialization, you\u2019ll learn to frame business challenges as data questions. You\u2019ll use powerful tools and methods such as Excel, Tableau, and MySQL to analyze data, create forecasts and models, design visualizations, and communicate your insights. In the final Capstone Project, you\u2019ll apply your skills to explore and justify improvements to a real-world business process.<\/p>\n

The Capstone Project focuses on optimizing revenues from residential property, and Airbnb, our Capstone\u2019s official Sponsor, provided input on the project design. Airbnb is the world\u2019s largest marketplace connecting property-owner hosts with travelers to facilitate short-term rental transactions. The top 10 Capstone completers each year will have the opportunity to present their work directly to senior data scientists at Airbnb live for feedback and discussion.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

#6.Statistics with R<\/a><\/h2>\n

In this Specialization, you will learn to analyze and visualize data in R and create reproducible data analysis reports, demonstrate a conceptual understanding of the unified nature of statistical inference, perform frequentist and Bayesian statistical inference and modeling to understand natural phenomena and make data-based decisions, communicate statistical results correctly, effectively, and in context without relying on statistical jargon, critique data-based claims and evaluated data-based decisions, and wrangle and visualize data with R packages for data analysis.<\/p>\n

You will produce a portfolio of data analysis projects from the Specialization that demonstrates mastery of statistical data analysis from exploratory analysis to inference to modeling, suitable for applying for statistical analysis or data scientist positions.<\/p>\n
