Data Analytics is an interdisciplinary program funded by National Science Foundation. A joint effort between the three colleges of Savannah State University (SSU): College of Business Administration (COBA), College of Sciences and Technology (COST), and College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences (CLASS), will develop a Targeted Infusion Project in Interdisciplinary Data Analytics (TIP-IDA), and implement an undergraduate certificate program. IDA certificate will focus on educating SSU students, non-SSU students, and the local community in STEM disciplines. This certificate program will also focus on improving the methodological, technical, mathematical, statistical, software and discipline-based research in the area of Data Analytics. The DATA certificate program will be open to both STEM and non-STEM majors. The long-term goal of SSU is to harness the success of this certificate program to ultimately move forward developing a master’s degree program in DATA. Additionally, the role of TIP-IDA is to prepare students in data analytics methodologies and tools in their respective disciplines, conduct meaningful research, formulate managerial insights, and make decisions to help meet the changing landscape of 21st century big data.
