SAS will work closely with your institution to develop certificate programs in a variety of areas of SAS expertise. Designed to recognize students with advanced SAS knowledge, the program can use pre-existing courses or ones newly developed in consultation with SAS. While your university will administer the program, the certificate will be co-sponsored by SAS, assuming a set of minimum requirements for semester or course credit hours and topics covered are met. Certificates are awarded after the successful completion of the course requirements.

Programs exist for data mining, statistical methods, data analysis, and programming. Certificate programs in other areas of SAS expertise are posssible if interest warrants.
