The Undergraduate Certificate in Public Health Data Fluency develops undergraduate data fluency skills. This includes data ethics, data management, analysis, and the role of data in society to promote public health using data-driven insights. Students who complete the certificate will gain new skills in directly working with public-use public health data, generating insights, and telling stories verbally, in writing, and with data visualizations using software. The certificate will be valuable for students pursuing public health concentrations, private sector health careers, and health social sciences with an emphasis in quantitative data analysis.
