Python 360 Certificate


In eCornell Certificate Programs  

Python is one of today’s most popular programming languages, with versatile uses across fields such as data science, software development, machine learning, and AI. As you complete the Python 360 Certificate program, you will gain an end-to-end understanding of the language and its adaptability to different applications and complex challenges. Throughout the core courses of the program, you will design, code, test, visualize, analyze, and debug Python functions and programs. As you discover how to write in and use Python, you will also develop essential techniques that will help you become a successful programmer, analyst, or software engineer, regardless of which language you are using.

After completing your foundational courses, you will have the opportunity to choose two electives that align your personal areas of interest with applicable skills and frameworks in areas ranging from user-centered design, to statistics, to communication. Ultimately, you’ll come away with not only the technical skills to grow your career in a technical field or function, but also with the exceptional problem-solving ability that will set you apart in any industry.

For the best experience in this program it is strongly recommended to take these courses in the order that they appear. Students must be comfortable with pre-calculus, basic algebra, and tinkering with their computer.
