This course provides an introduction to business intelligence and analytics, including the processes, methodologies, infrastructure, and current practices used to transform business data into useful information and support business decision-making. Business Intelligence requires foundation knowledge in data models and data retrieval, thus this course will review logical data models for both relational database systems and data warehouses. Students will learn to extract and manipulate data from these systems using Structured Query Language (SQL). This course also covers visualization, reporting, and dashboard design with experiential learning using leading industry applications.
Open to students with majors in the Isenberg School of Management. OIM majors and Isenberg majors should monitor the course via SPIRE for seat availability. If you add yourself to the SPIRE waitlist, please ensure you do not enroll in a course that conflicts with this course.
