Learn how to turn data into insight using today’s most in-demand analytics and artificial intelligence tools.
In this program, you’ll develop the skills to collect, transform, analyze, and visualize business data, using data science, machine learning, and AI techniques to support informed decision making. You’ll explore how data analytics and AI are applied across business functions such as marketing, human resources, supply chain management, and production support, and learn to align data strategies with organizational goals.
Through hands-on learning, you’ll work with the latest tools to perform predictive and AI-driven analyses on real world data. You’ll also build the communication skills needed to present insights clearly and confidently through dashboards, visualizations, and storytelling tailored to business audiences. Ethical, privacy, and responsible AI principles are embedded throughout the program to prepare you for professional practice.
You’ll learn skills that you can apply to projects in a wide range of industries, and then you’ll put your new applied learning to the test by completing a capstone project with an industry partner. Not only will your capstone project give you the opportunity to demonstrate a comprehensive understanding of the skills you have developed, you’ll meet key players in local organizations so that you can start building your professional network.
