MIS 4470/5470 - Practical Computing for Data Analytics (Fall 2024)ΒΆ
This course is part of our graduate MS in Business Analytics program as well as for our undergraduate Minor in Business Analytics. Both graduate and undergrad students from a variety of programs find their way to this course: MBA, Master of Accounting, MS in Business Analytics, MS in IT Management, MS in Applied Statistics, undergraduates in School of Business, Actuarial Scence, and the School of Engineering and Computer Science. The diverse mix of students make this a very enjoyable class to teach and take.
Most students take my spreadsheet based analytics course, MIS 4460/5460 before doing this course. Highly recommended but not strictly required.
