Students in the certificate program are exposed to a breadth of data analysis topics, including research methods, Geographical Information System (GIS), multiple regression, and advanced electives on a variety of quantitative topics in various social science fields, as well as software packages that are in common use in the business world. The program is interdisciplinary - it draws on courses from 9 social science-related departments (Africology, Anthropology, Communications, Criminal Justice, Economics, Geography, Psychology, Political Science, and Sociology) and is intended to complement students\u2019 social science major with concrete quantitative skills in data analysis.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Students will take courses in statistics, regression, GIS, and research methods and will frequently be able to choose a course specific to their major. For example, a sociology major can choose &quot;Research Methods in Sociology&quot; to satisfy the research methods course requirement while a psychology student may choose &quot;Research Methods in Psychology.&quot; These options allow students to focus their certificate training in their own field<\/p>\n<h2>Eligibility<\/h2> <p>The certificate is open to current 51ÁÔÆæ undergraduates, 51ÁÔÆæ bachelor\u2019s degree holders, or graduates of other accredited four-year colleges; to be admitted to the certificate program, students must have a current overall GPA of 3.0 at 51ÁÔÆæ or their bachelor\u2019s degree institution. Students completing the certificate not in conjunction with a degree are not eligible for financial aid.\u00a0<\/p>\n  \n\n<\/text>\n\n\n    <div id=\"program-details-jump\">\n        <a class=\"uwm-c-button uwm-c-button--s\" href=\"#program-details\" rel=\"\">Jump to Program Details <i class=\"uwm-u-pl-10 fa-solid fa-arrow-down\"><\/i><\/a>\n    <\/div>\n\n    \n\n\n    <div class=\"uwm-l-row uwm-u-mt-50\">\n                    <div class=\"uwm-l-col\">\n                <h2 class=\"size-h6 uwm-u-my-10 uwm-u-pt-10 uwm-u-border--top\">Program Type<\/h2>\n                <p class=\"size-h4 uwm-u-mt-0\">\n                    <strong>Undergraduate Certificate<\/strong>\n                <\/p>\n            <\/div>\n        \n                    <div class=\"uwm-l-col uwm-l-offset--2\">\n                <h2 class=\"size-h6 uwm-u-my-10 uwm-u-pt-10 uwm-u-border--top\">Program Format<\/h2>\n                <p class=\"size-h4 uwm-u-mt-0\">\n                    <strong>On Campus<\/strong>\n                <\/p>\n            <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"intro-sidebar\" class=\"uwm-l-col uwm-l-col--4 uwm-l-offset--1\">\n        <div class=\"uwm-mini-rfi uwm-p-card uwm-p-card--gold uwm-p-card--shadow\">\n            <div class=\"uwm-p-card--body\">\n                <div class=\"uwm-p-card--content\">\n                    <div class=\"uwm-p-card--title\">Request Information<\/div>\n                    <div id='form_47e36b1a-64dd-41ea-a6b5-b9deba75dca3'>Loading&#8230;<\/div>                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n        \n\n<div class=\"uwm-u-flex uwm-u-flex--wrap uwm-u-flex--left uwm-u-mt-40\">\n<a class=\"uwm-c-button uwm-c-button--gold uwm-u-mr-20 uwm-u-mb-20\" href=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/undergrad-admission\/apply\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Start Your Application<\/a>\n\n\n\n<a class=\"uwm-c-button uwm-c-button--gold uwm-u-mr-20 uwm-u-mb-20\" href=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/sociology\/students\/undergraduates\/declare-your-certificate\/\" rel=\"\">Declare Your Certificate<\/a>\n<\/div>\n\n<script async='async' src='https:\/\/admissions.uwm.edu\/register\/?id=47e36b1a-64dd-41ea-a6b5-b9deba75dca3&amp;output=embed&amp;div=form_47e36b1a-64dd-41ea-a6b5-b9deba75dca3'>\/**\/<\/script>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n\n\t    <section id=\"program-highlights\" class=\"uwm-u-py-80 uwm-bg-gray-dark\">\n        <div class=\"uwm-l-container--base\">\n        \n\n<div id=\"program-highlights-content-image\" class=\"uwm-l-row\">\n<div class=\"uwm-l-col\">\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading size-h3\" id=\"h-what-is-a-certificate\"><strong>What is a certificate?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Certificates are very similar to a minor\u2014they require about the same number of classes. The difference is that a minor includes classes \r\nthat are all from the same subject area. For example, a history minor consists of all history classes. A certificate includes classes \r\nfrom multiple subject areas that address the theme of the certificate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The QSDA certificate draws on classes from political science, economics, sociology, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Earning this certificate indicates that you have achieved subject matter depth in analyzing social science data and can enhance your resume. This certificate is ideal for many social science majors, not just sociology majors. Economics, history, political science, psychology, and business majors are particularly encouraged to explore the certificate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Sociology Department also participates in teaching courses in these <a href=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/sociology\/students\/undergraduates\/other-certificate-programs\/\">other certificates.<\/a><\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"uwm-l-col uwm-l-col--6 uwm-l-offset--1\">    <figure class=\"default\">\n                    <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"500\" \n                class=\"wp-image-6282\" \n                src=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/sociology\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/151\/2021\/11\/Certficate_498090998.jpg\" \n                alt=\"Person at laptop\" \n srcset=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/sociology\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/151\/2021\/11\/Certficate_498090998.jpg 750w, https:\/\/uwm.edu\/sociology\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/151\/2021\/11\/Certficate_498090998-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/>\n                    <\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n        <\/div>\n    <\/section>\n\n\n\n\n<section id=\"program-details\" class=\"uwm-u-py-80\">\n    <div class=\"uwm-l-container--base\">\n        \n\n<div class=\"uwm-l-row\">\n<div id=\"details-main\" class=\"uwm-l-col\">\n\n<div class=\"uwm-p-tabs\" data-tabs-prefix-class=\"uwm-p-tabs\"><ul class=\"uwm-p-tablist\" data-hx=\"h2\"><li class=\"uwm-p-tablist--item\"><a href=\"#tab-zjfn-requirements\" class=\"uwm-p-tablist--link\">Requirements<\/a><\/li><li class=\"uwm-p-tablist--item\"><a href=\"#tab-zjfn-advising\" class=\"uwm-p-tablist--link\">Advising<\/a><\/li><\/ul><div class=\"uwm-p-tabcontent\">\n<div id=\"tab-zjfn-requirements\" class=\"uwm-p-tabcontent--pane\">\n<p>Admission to the QSDA certificate program requires an overall GPA of 3.0 or higher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<style>\ntable  {\n   font-family: Helvetica, Arial, \"sans-serif\";\n}\n\t\n\n\t\n\th2, h3, h4 {\n\t\tfont-family: Helvetica, Arial, \"sans-serif\";\n\t\t\n\t}\n\t\n\t\t\t.sc_courselist tr:nth-child(even) {\n \t\t\t background-color: #f2f2f2\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t.sc_footnotes td, .sc_footnotes th, .sc_footnotes table {  border-left: none;\n  border-right: none; padding: 8px;}\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t.sc_courselist {\n\t\t\t\tborder-collapse: collapse;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t.sc_courselist td, .sc_courselist th {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 1px solid #ddd;\n\t\t\t\tpadding: 8px;\n        min-width: 40px;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t.hourscol{\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: right;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t .hidden.noscript{\n\t\t\t\/*\tdisplay: none; *\/\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t.areaheader, .symcol, .listsum {\n\t\t\t\tfont-weight: bold;\n\t\t\t}\n\n\t\t\t.HU { background-color: #ffce9c; }\n\n\t\t\t.SS { background-color: #f0e68c; }\n\n\t\t\t.NS { background-color: #ceefbd; }\n\n\t\t\t.OWCB { background-color: #ccccff; }\n\n\t\t\t.QLB { background-color: #ccffff; }\n<\/style>\n\n\n<h2>Requirements<\/h2>\n<p>To obtain the certificate, the student must earn a grade of at least C in any course used to satisfy the certificate requirements, and a cumulative GPA of 3.0 over all courses used for the certificate.
