An MIT-run MicroMasters program on edX covering data analysis, economics, and development policy, with a focus on randomized controlled trials and causal estimation. It is a multi-course credential path rather than a single course.

The commenter, a working data scientist who completed it, says it taught them new statistics techniques and a lot about causal estimation.

    They offer a "MicroMasters" on EdX [0] basically covering a lot of this RCT work. I can recommend it (I've completed it), I work as a data scientist and have learnt quite some new statistics tricks (and a lot about causal estimation) from some of the courses.
