BSAN 520 Spreadsheet Modeling for Decision-Making

Spreadsheet tools are the most universal and easily accessible program for most people to use and interpret data – and a vital skill for any analyst to know.  In this course, students will learn data cleaning, financial modeling, optimization, and data visualization using PivotTables and PivotCharts, enabling students to analyze complex datasets, create forecasts, and effectively communicate insights to support data-driven decision-making in business contexts.  This course is offered via Upper Iowa University’s (UIU) partnership with Rize, an education company that prepares students for careers in the fastest-growing fields.  The partnership allows students to earn UIU credit toward in-demand degree programs.  Rize courses may not be taken for electives.
