Graduate Certificate In Business Intelligence / Analytics
The Graduate Certificate in Business Intelligence / Analytics was created to meet the increasing need for managers, scientists, and other decision-makers to interpret ever-increasing datasets. The curriculum is designed to equip students with the knowledge and skills necessary to effectively use available data for competitive advantage. It focuses on business analytics and data mining techniques for organizational decision making.
Program Formats
Students select a preferred format (online or on-campus) in their admission applications, but once admitted may take courses in either format. Students electing the online format may participate in online classes from anywhere in the world where Internet access is available. On-campus classes are held on the main campus in Fort Lauderdale. Each class meets once a week from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. for 16 weeks in the fall and winter terms and 14 weeks in the summer term.
GSCIS students are provided NSU computer accounts but must obtain their own Internet service providers and use their own computer systems. Online students use the web to access course materials, announcements, email, distance library services, subscription library databases, and other information, and for interaction with faculty and fellow students. Online, interactive learning methods are based on the use of Blackboard as a course management system. Online activities facilitate frequent student-to-faculty and student-to-student interaction. They are supported by threaded discussion boards, white boards, chat rooms, email, and multimedia presentations.
