Curricular information is subject to change.

Business analytics requires powerful software to interact with large, complex data sets. This is a first course in developing software applications to allow experts to build solutions to complex business problems based on extensive analysis of structured data.
Students of this module will first gain an appreciation of how computer languages are used to create programs, and how these programs are executed, and react to input information. They will then write programs to perform logical analysis and processing of business data.
