Introduction to Management Info Systems

In this course, students explore information systems and their role in organizations. They examine management decision support systems, system analysis and design methodologies, information processing technologies, and their role in decision making. Students will explore tools and techniques for supporting and executing organizational processes. Upon completion of the course, students will work as a team to design an information systems solution to meet a specific business need.

Statistics, Introductory

Students taking Introductory Statistics display data with graphs, describe distributions with numbers perform correlation and regression analyses, and design experiments. They use probability and distributions to make predictions, estimate parameters, and test hypotheses. They draw inferences about relationships including ANOVA.

English Composition 1

This course is designed for learners to develop knowledge and skills in all aspects of the writing process. Planning, organizing, writing, editing and revising are applied through a variety of activities. Students will analyze audience and purpose, use elements of research, and format documents using standard guidelines. Individuals will develop critical reading skills through analysis of various written documents.

Data Analytics 1

In this course, students will learn the basic concepts of data analysis and how they are used to drive business processes. Students will learn to identify and retrieve relevant data sources, and to prepare data for analysis with pre-configured and custom tools. Upon completion of this course, students will be able to prepare data for further analysis to drive decision making for business.

Mathematical Reasoning

All college students, regardless of their college major, need to be able to make reasonable decisions about fiscal, environmental, and health issues that require quantitative reasoning skills. An activity based approach is used to explore numerical relationships, graphs, proportional relationships, algebraic reasoning, and problem solving using linear, exponential and other mathematical models. Students will develop conceptual and procedural tools that support the use of key mathematical concepts in a variety of contexts.

Fundamentals of IT

In this course, students will explore the fundamental aspects of information technology. Students investigate basic hardware systems, various operating systems, important software packages, networking fundamentals, basic internet technologies, and essential problem solving techniques. Upon completion of the class, students are prepared to utilize their IT skills to work effectively in IT-related tasks.

Programming in Python

In this course, students investigate the fundamentals of computer programming using the Python programming language. Students examine data types, variables, conditional statements, looping, array structures, and structured programming techniques. Upon completion of the course, students will be able to use Python to apply problem solving skills to create applications for delivery to various platforms.

Databases

In this course, students explore concepts, design, documentation, and implementation of various database systems, including proprietary and open source technologies. Students implement Structured Query Language (SQL) to store, retrieve, and manipulate data. Students create queries, normalize database structures, and create stored procedures. Upon completion of this course, students will be prepared to develop and maintain databases used in application development.
