With the rapid advances in information technologies, the volume of data generated has tremendously increased in recent years. These data are generated from various sources such as online transactions, mobile applications, sensors, video-capturing systems, and social media, and are arriving at a scale of terabytes or even petabytes. There are ample opportunities for businesses to gain managerial and strategic insights by gathering, cleaning, and analyzing these data.<br><br>Program Educational Goals Apply data analysis methods to explain and enable better decision-making and storytelling.
