Program details
Overview
Work-term stream of the one-year Business Analytics graduate certificate, pairing training in data collection and preparation, statistical analysis, predictive analytics and data-driven decision support with an optional work term similar in length to an academic semester. The placement is typically full-time and may be paid or unpaid, requires maintained eligibility and additional fees, and comes with in-class career workshops and one-on-one coaching; students can move to the non-work-term stream at any time. For new students Seneca has renamed the program Data Analytics (DAS); earlier cohorts graduate under the Business Analytics name.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: This graduate/postgraduate certificate requires a prior Ontario university or college degree, diploma, or equivalent; applicants with only partial postsecondary study may still qualify if they can show significant relevant work experience, supported by a resume and references. Canadian citizens or permanent residents whose credential was earned outside Canada must submit a credential evaluation from WES or ICAS. The programme page defers English-language proficiency to Seneca's institution-wide graduate-certificate standard rather than publishing its own scores: international applicants must meet Seneca's published English requirement, and the page directs applicants to select their home country for country-specific documentation, noting that further documents or assessments may be requested upon request.
Application Details
Application Deadline:Domestic applicants (Canadian citizens and permanent residents) apply through OntarioColleges.ca. For the September 2027 intake, OCAS opens for applications on 1 October 2026, the equal-consideration date is 1 February 2027, first offers go out from 1 November 2026, and the earliest confirmation deadline is 1 May 2027 with a CAD 200 deposit due the second Wednesday of June 2027.
