Business Intelligence and Analytics
OIM
This course provides an introduction to business intelligence and analytics, including the processes, methodologies, infrastructure, and current practices used to transform business data into useful information and support business decision-making. Business Intelligence requires foundation knowledge in data models and data retrieval, thus this course will review logical data models for both relational database systems and data warehouses. Students will learn to extract and manipulate data from these systems using Structured Query Language (SQL). This course also covers visualization, reporting, and dashboard design with experiential learning using leading industry applications.

Course Notes
If the class is open, Isenberg majors can contact the Isenberg Undergraduate Programs Office at undergrad@isenberg.umass.edu if you meet the enrollment requisites and are unable to self-enroll or unable to add yourself to the Spire waitlist (if open as indicated by a yellow triangle).
If you add yourself to the Spire waitlist, please ensure you do not enroll in a course that conflicts with this course or enroll in a maximum number of credits.
Once the course and the Spire waitlist is full, OIM majors and Isenberg majors should monitor the course via SPIRE for seat availability. The Spire waitlist will stop promoting students about one week prior to the beginning of the semester. Once the Spire waitlist is no longer functional, students should monitor the class and self-enroll if a seat becomes available.
