Program details
Overview
Work-term stream of the online Business Analytics graduate certificate, pairing training in data collection and preparation, statistical analysis, predictive analytics and analytics leadership with an optional work term similar in length to an academic semester, typically a full-time position that may be paid or unpaid, completed in person, online or in hybrid format depending on the hiring organization. Eligibility must be maintained, additional fees apply and the student-driven search is supported by career workshops and one-on-one coaching. 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.
