Overview

Graduate Certificate in Big Data Solution Architecture (Optional Co-op)

Companies embracing modern information technology must deal with large amounts of data. 

This “Big Data” often shows patterns and trends on which to make good business decisions. 

To support Business Analysts, students in this program at Conestoga College focus on collecting, processing and presenting these large data sets. 

Developing skills in solution development, database design (both SQL and NoSQL), data processing, data warehousing and data visualization help build a solid foundation in this important support role. 

Students can apply their learning to real-world problems through applied learning techniques such as problem-based learning.

The optional co-op stream includes one co-op work term.
