BIA 6302 - Data Visualization

(2)

This course is about the interactive exploration of data, and how it is achieved using state-of-the-art data visualization software. Students will be able to present complex quantitative and qualitative data visually. Participants will learn to explore a range of different data types and structures. They will learn about various interactive techniques for manipulating and examining the data and producing effective visualizations. Participants will be guided through an exploration of quantitative business data to discern meaningful patterns, trends, relationships, and exceptions that reveal business performance, potential problems and opportunities. Data visualization is both an art and a science. It is an art concerned with unleashing creativity and innovation, designing communications that appeal on an aesthetic level and survive in the mind on an emotional one. Statistics and exposure to any programming language is required.
