Dual Degree-Management UNP

 Course Overview

An important part of leadership and

management consists of defining and
solving many types of problems.
Inherent in the problem solving process
is the task of decision making. The best
decisions are those that are made based
on fact. Such decisions usually require
the use of data. In this class, the overall
objective will be to improve your ability
to model situations and analyze data to
make intelligent, fact-based decisions.
