BUAD 352 - Decision-making through Visualization and Simulation

Credits: (1.5)
Prerequisite(s): BUAD 350
The objective of this course is to provide students with advanced skills in the most common business analytics tools of the modern workplace - namely Excel and its companion programming language called Visual Basic for Applications (VBA). During this course, students will develop visualization and decision models designed to effectively communicate the meaning of complex data sets, and to identify the expected risks and returns associated with decisions about uncertain future events through the application of probability concepts and Monte Carlo simulation methods.
