Certification & Graduation

How to Earn Your Certificate

Complete the final project and participate in peer reviews.

That’s the only requirement.

The final project demonstrates your practical skills by building an end-to-end data pipeline with a dashboard. You choose the dataset, tools, and approach.

After submitting, review 3 projects from your cohort to complete the peer review requirement.

What’s NOT Required

  • Homework scores don’t affect graduation. Homework is for learning, not grading.
  • No minimum GPA. Complete the project and peer reviews, and you’re done.
  • No final exam. Your project speaks for itself.
