Joint SAS Certificates
What You'll Study
In 2017, Department of Economics signed an agreement with SAS Inc. to create the Joint Certificate Programs for both undergraduate and graduate degrees. Now, YSU is one of six Universities in Ohio that offer the SAS Joint Certificate Programs. Such programs prepare students with programming skills in data analytics with real-world business applications and give students a competitive advantage in the job market.
The joint SAS certificate program includes a minimum of 12 credit hours and at least half of the courses must use SAS extensively. To fulfil the certificate requirements, students need to complete a project using real economic or business data and conduct all the empirical analyses in SAS.
