This 30-credit undergraduate certificate at HEC Montréal is delivered on campus at the school's Côte-des-Neiges building, structured as ten courses: two foundation courses, six further mandatory courses, and two electives. It develops skills in analytics, data mining and programming, covers statistical methods and mathematical concepts applied to management, and trains students in processing, visualizing and exploiting data, including web analytics, along with the basics of operational research through case studies. Students are introduced to statistical software used in the field, including SAS, SAS SQL, R, SPSS and Tableau Public. It suits candidates with an analytical mindset who want to strengthen data-handling and programming skills, and typically leads to roles such as data analyst or business intelligence analyst. A related microprogramme in data exploitation is offered at the same level, and this certificate can be combined with a second HEC Montréal certificate and coursework at the Université de Montréal to earn a cumulative bachelor's degree (baccalauréat par cumul).
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Admission to HEC Montréal's certificate programmes follows one of three routes: holding a Quebec DEC (diplôme d'études collégiales); having completed 30 university-level credits in any programme (minor, major, certificate or bachelor's degree); or having four years of full-time work experience (internships excluded, counted from age 18, in any sector including experience gained abroad). Candidates who completed their prior schooling outside Quebec instead need a secondary diploma equivalent to twelve years of schooling combined with one year of university study (60 ECTS or the equivalent), or may qualify through the same 30-credit or four-year-experience routes. An intermediate-advanced level of French is required, demonstrated through prior schooling or by passing an approved French test or programme; applicants below that level must complete language courses first. Admission is rolling for Canadian citizens and permanent residents, with priority deadlines of May 15 for the Fall term, November 1 for Winter and February 15 for Summer; international applicants must apply by February 1 for Fall or June 1 for Winter, there is no Summer intake for international students, and they must study full-time to meet study-permit and CAQ conditions.
