The Data Scholarship Program was created by Dodge Family College of Arts and Sciences to support interdisciplinary data education and research. We currently offer graduate certificates, undergraduate minors and certificates in Data Analytics and Applied Statistics, and an online Masters of Science in Applied Statistics.
The Data Scholarship Program offers minors and certificates to teach data and computing skills for all majors in the Natural Sciences, Social Sciences, and Humanities in the Dodge Family College of Arts and Sciences and the broader OU community.

*Students who are already enrolled in graduate programs at OU may be admitted to the certificate as early as after completion of 1 semester of graduate work in good standing. In keeping with OU Graduate College policies, students will not be required to have a minimum GPA to declare interest in the certificate, though it is expected that successful GAS certificate graduates possess a 3.0 cumulative GPA over their graduate work.
Students seeking only the graduate certificate without pursuing an OU graduate degree will be required to have a GPA of at least 3.0 (out of 4.0), three letters of recommendation, a statement of purpose, and for international students, must meet the English requirements stated by the University of Oklahoma.
