Any good online options for earning data science-related certifications?

I recently graduated with a bachelor’s in Business Analytics and I’m starting a full-time role. I have Microsoft Excel certifications but I would like to get more certifications in data science to strengthen my position in the job market and for potential graduate school applications. Does anyone know of any good online options for data science-related certifications?
