Students don't need a strong technical background to succeed in the new Rutgers certificate program - they are open to people from a range of backgrounds.
Students don't need a strong technical background to succeed in the new Rutgers certificate program - they are open to people from a range of backgrounds.

New Brunswick, New Jersey (PRWEB) February 17, 2016 -- The Center for Innovation Education at Rutgers University, is pleased to announce the launch of a comprehensive, 44-week skills-based technology career program, beginning Mar. 29th, 2016. Rutgers University has partnered with Experiential Teaching Online (XTOL Corp.) to offer a remote, collaboration-driven course focused on big data and data analytics to recent graduates and professionals in New Jersey and throughout the United States.

Graduates of the Data Analytics/Big Data program will:

We are excited about this innovative program and believe it to be a valuable option for professionals who wish to expand their skill-set in the areas of data analytics and big data.

Post this
  • Gain a broad range of job-ready skills (technical and business) in numerous fields.
  • Receive a Certificate of Completion.
  • Complete a portfolio of professional-quality work to present to prospective employers.
  • Leave with end-to-end project experience working on real life challenges

The certificate was developed using XTOL's proven Story-Centered Curriculum approach — an approach in which students are placed in authentic, team-based, professional roles that incorporate knowledge and skill-based tasks. In the program, faculty members mentor the students and evaluate student performance on work produced.

Rutgers University will offer the following courses, which when taken sequentially, comprises the Data Analytics/Big Data Certificate:

*Data Analytics – Discovering and Exploiting Patterns in Data
     Understanding Customers: 4 weeks (30 hours per week); 8 weeks (15 hours per week)
     Predicting Profitability and Customer Preferences: 4 weeks (30 hours per week); 8 weeks (15 hours per week)
*Big Data – Advanced Skills
     Web Mining: 8 weeks (30 hours per week); 16 weeks (15 hours per week)
     Deep Analytics and Visualization: 6 weeks (30 hours per week); 12 weeks (15 hours per week)

"Utilizing XTOL's proven Story-Centered Curriculum approach, the Rutgers certificate program provides critical skills to individuals who don’t necessarily have a computer science background," said Stephen Carter, Director of the Center for Innovation Education at Rutgers University. "Students acquire authentic experience at a more realistic pace conducive to learning and at a cost that they can afford."

One of the unique aspects of the university certificate program is the mentoring provided to students by faculty members. The programs offer the convenience of an entirely online curriculum as well as individual and team-based faculty mentorship. Designed and delivered by current and former faculty of Carnegie Mellon, Northwestern, and Yale Universities, Rutgers subject matter experts bring extensive experience to the programs.

Stephen Carter, Director of the Center for Innovation Education said, "We are excited about this innovative program and believe it to be a valuable option for professionals who wish to expand their skill-set in the areas of data analytics and big data. In partnership with XTOL, we are responding to the growing demand for highly skilled analytical employees in New Jersey and beyond. "
