Pre-MBA Quantitative Skills: Data Analysis at Coursera Course details
- This course will equip students with the quantitative skills needed to begin any Masters of Business Administration program
- The goal is not to build foundational skills or expert mastery but rather, to provide some middle ground to shake the rust off skills that a typical MBA student probably knows, but may not have thought about for quite some time
- The course provides a quick refresher on top level math and statistics concepts that will be used throughout the MBA curriculum at any school
- All of the concepts will be reinforced with practical real-world examples
- All calculations, formulas, and data analysis will be performed in Excel, with many detailed demonstrations
- For those unfamiliar or less comfortable with spreadsheets, the course will also prepare students with a basic facility for using spreadsheets to solve quantitative business problems
- This course has no prerequisites and is intended for any audience
