About the Economics Department
Purpose: Provides functional skills and literacies in simple data analysis within a common statistical software package. Introduces advanced techniques such as binary variables and logistic regression and prepares students to read and interpret results using those techniques. Major emphasis is on the work before and after an analysis, such as proposing a question, collecting data, interpreting results, and applying findings to improve decision making.
This program is intended for students already possessing an Associate’s or Bachelor’s degree who seek a career-boosting credential in the growing field of analytics. Data science training has grown and become very specific, so most certificates, including this one, introduce the field. They are unlikely to lead to a position with the title “data scientist” or “analyst.” However, as data has become a more important piece of nearly all business decisions, the exposure to this element provides competencies and training that provide an edge over other job candidates, such as for acquiring or advancing in managerial positions.
