MPA 8065 - Data Analytics and Decision Making


Organizations today operate in a complex environment, with more data available than ever before. While tools and technology have enabled better use of that data, managers must be prepared to structure data-driven decision-making processes, understand the implications and assumptions of analytical methods, and successfully communicate findings to non-technical audiences.  This course will build a strong foundation in decision-making theory, data management and analysis, and communication. Students will build skills in using tools for data management, analysis and visualization.  The course will add to your toolbox of managerial skills and help get you ready for analysis in the real world, where problems and data do not come in neatly wrapped packages; data and decision-making is messy.
