What's inside

Three courses

The Nature of Data and Relational Database Design

(8 hours)
This course provides an overview of data, data types, database design, and data manipulation in databases using SQL. By the end of this course, students will be able to define business intelligence, conduct basic descriptive statistical analysis, and differentiate between types of statistics. They will also be able to define normalization and ETL, create an ERD, and write SQL scripts to create a database and associated tables.

Data Warehousing and Business Intelligence

(8 hours)
This course builds on “The Nature of Data and Relational Database Design” to extend the process of capturing and manipulating data through data warehousing and data mining. Once the transactional data is processed through ETL (Extract, Transform, Load), it is then stored in a data warehouse for use in managerial decision making.

Business Intelligence and Visual Analytics

(12 hours)
Building on “Data Warehousing and Business Intelligence,” this course focuses on data visualization and visual analytics. It covers what data visualization is and what type of visualization is good for a given purpose, and dives into development of practical skills and knowledge about visual analytics by way of using SAS Viya, a cloud-based analytics platform.

Learning objectives

  • Develop an in-depth understanding of data warehouse design and data manipulation
  • Describe what business intelligence (bi) is and what it does
