open badge

As a certificate of completion Data Science Minor at our university, we have introduced an "open badge", which is one of the digital certificates of completion, and will issue the badge from the first class of 2021.

Data Science Minor is a minor designed to systematically acquire knowledge about data science, which has played an important role in many industrial fields in recent years. It is a proof that you have earned 20 Credit from the designated courses of our university and completed your minor.“Open badges” are certificates of completion that utilize digital technology, are issued in accordance with global technical standards (*1), and are gaining popularity both in Japan and overseas. In addition to visualizing learning history, we have introduced it to promote "human resource development that can respond to the DX (digital transformation) era" specified in the third five-year medium-term action plan of our university.
