Subsequent to completion of the certificate, students will be prepared for work in an exceptionally wide array of careers that might require undergraduate or master’s degrees in analytics, data science, economics, or computer science. The program will assist interested academic-year program students in applying for local internships that will take place the summer after completion of the certificate at the social-impact arms of San Francisco Bay Area companies such as Facebook, Omidyar Foundation (eBay), AirBnB, Twitter, and numerous others.
The program cannot guarantee internship placement.
