There is a strong and growing need for practitioners who work in the agricultural, environmental, and industrial sectors within the Food, Energy, and Water Systems (FEWS) to have skills in data science. Increasingly, decision-making within these systems relies on understanding not only the context of FEWS, but how to use data to understand system behavior and opportunities for improvement. The graduate certificate aims to prepare M.S. and Ph.D. students for multiple career paths in the food-energy-water nexus, such as research scientist, bioeconomy entrepreneur, agribusiness leader, policymaker, agriculture analytics specialist, and professor, by credentialing their understanding of the FEWS nexus and their skills in quantitative analysis of complex systems. The graduate certificate consists of 13 credits across five courses – two core courses, plus one elective course within each of three focus areas. Coursework is designed to fit within the major program of study.
