Course Overview

Computational Social Science Capstone Project is an online course designed to provide the students with an opportunity for undertaking a project on Computational Social Science. The completely online programme is offered by the University of California, Davis, and is available on the platform Coursera. Computational Social Science Capstone Project Certification Syllabus will help the candidates to do a capstone project on computational social science by combining all the knowledge provided during the programme. 

In the Computational Social Science Capstone Project Certification Course, the candidates will first take the data from a social media site and analyze them. At last, the students will go through the generative mechanism with the help of computer simulation. Computational Social Science Capstone Project Certification by Coursera is the last and fifth course in the Computational Social Science Specialization.
