BSc or BA (120 credit hour) Double Major in Environmental Science and another subject - Core Business Applications: Introduction to Computers
COMM 1502 Core Business Applications: Introduction to Computers
CREDIT HOURS: 3
The course focuses on how business applications, notably Spreadsheets and Data Visualization tools (e.g., SAP Analytics Cloud), contribute to the management, analysis and reporting of data with respect to business processes and how they can aid in the solving of business problems. This course begins with an overview of Management Information Systems, before proceeding through several modules that involve data-to-report transformations, along with data integration between various applications. We use spreadsheets to perform routine business calculations, and visualize the data using a cloud-based data visualization tool. Each successive module increases the complexity of the analyses and reports. As the course progresses, business simulations will be used in assignments to provide experiential and immersive learning opportunities. The course is taught with both in-class lectures and self-paced computer laboratory exercises.
