Data Analytics Program Description |
The program is designed to allow existing professionals, across a range of industries to acquire skills necessary to collect, analyze, and use data within their work environment to drive decision-making processes. The program will focus on allowing individuals to leverage their current professional knowledge as industry experts, and combine that knowledge and skill with data skills to enhance decision processes. Individuals will learn to utilize data already available within their industry and to design processes to collect new data sets to increase planning, decision-making, and ROI. The program as planned will take a generalist approach, focusing on a broad set of data analysis skills that will be applicable across industries and will not provide specific concentrations. |
