Data Science for Business

This course is designed to introduce students with little or no prior programming experience to the art of programming through the lens of exploring data. Students will build a core foundation in the Python programming language as well as data analysis and visualization. This course is a hands-on, experiential class that students learn by solving actual business problems using Python under the guidance of the instructor. Topics will include programming fundamentals and logic such as variables, input & output, control structures, functions, data types, data manipulation, and object-oriented concepts. Students will apply the Python programming language and essential data science techniques to solve various problems. At the end of this course, students will complete a final project as a team which cohesively ties together all the covered concepts.
