BUS 2002 - Fundamentals of Business Analytics

Credits: 3

Business analytics allows for the conversion of raw data into actionable real-world insights. We’ll build a foundation of knowledge in the fundamentals of statistics and data science using business data to formulate key metrics. We’ll use a programming language to summarize and visualize data, interpret patterns, infer population parameters, explore relationships among variables, and make forecasts. No prior programming experience is expected.

BUS 2002 will count towards the statistics requirement of both the business administration and accounting majors (currently also satisfied by POL 2002 , ECON 2002 , etc.). It will also count towards the statistics requirement of the Data Science minor. Due to contact overlap, students may take only one of the following courses for degree credit: BUS 2002, POL 2002 , ECON 2002 . Students who have already taken CBSC 2500  should not take any of these other courses.
