How is this certificate different from the W. P. Carey School of Business Applied Business Data Analytics Certificate?

P. Carey School of Business Applied Business Data Analytics Certificate is only available to students admitted to ASU.
How is this certificate different from the ASU CareerCatalyst Data Analytics and Visualization Certificate?
With the Data Analysis Fundamentals in Business Certificate, you can earn college credit that will go toward helping you earn admission to ASU and count as elective credits toward your bachelor’s degree. If you are not interested in pursuing a bachelor’s degree (or have already received one), consider taking the Data Analytics and Visualization Certificate from ASU CareerCatalyst instead.
