CCSU Launches Online Certificate in Data Mining

Central Connecticut State University (CCSU) announces the launching of a Certificate program in data mining, available completely online. The Certificate in Data Mining is the first such program to be made available completely online, according to Daniel T. Larose, Ph.D., Associate Professor of Statistics and Program Coordinator for Data Mining at CCSU.

The Certificate consists of four undergraduate courses, and may be completed in one year. The thrust of the program is to provide students with practical, hands-on experience with what the MIT Technology Review called one of the ten emerging technologies that will change the world (MIT Technology Review, Jan / Feb 2001). Students will apply such methodologies as decision trees, market basket analysis, neural networks, classification rules, and cluster detection. Students will gain strong exposure to the Clementine data mining software suite from SPSS, which is ideally suited to an online program, since student versions are available.

The first course in the Certificate sequence begins online in September. Also beginning in September is an online graduate course in data mining, along with online courses in mathematical statistics, experimental design, JAVA, and calculus. Online registration is taking place now at onlinecsu.ctstateu.edu. For more information, visit the Data Mining at CCSU website at www.math.ccsu.edu/dm or contact the Program Coordinator at larosed_at_ccsu.edu. Received on Wed Jul 25 2001 - 16:40:28 CEST
