 Mathematics for Analytics (2 units) -The course will focus on math topics that are
necessary in understanding concepts in analytics. It includes topics in linear algebra,
specifically matrices and their application. This course will also cover basic concepts in
differential and integral calculus and their applications.
 Statistics for Analytics (2 units) -Statistics is the study of data for decision making. This
course is designed to provide students with the fundamental statistical concepts and skills
for data analysis which begins in describing data and ends in drawing conclusions from
them. In addition, they will learn how to collect data in a way which allows this analysis.
Most often, these statistical concepts will be illustrated through examples and
calculations done manually and using R. No prior knowledge of Statistics is required.
However, students are expected to understand basic mathematical notation and be
familiar with college algebra concepts. Knowledge of elementary calculus and basic R
will be advantageous.

 Computing for Analytics 1 (2 units) - This course aims to instill appreciation of

computer programming through introduction of its fundamental concepts, terminologies,
and practical applications. It will develop skills in conceptualizing and implementing
computer programs to perform essential data analyses. While the course focuses on the
use of Microsoft (MS) Excel and R, the computing and programming techniques learned
will serve as a gateway to more advanced computer programming languages. This course
requires no programming background.

 Computing for Analytics 2 (2 units) -This course aims to further enhance the
knowledge and skills of MABA students to conduct computing for analytics. The course
will introduce and discuss the use of Python, a high level programming language that is
among the most popular languages for performing analytics at present. The course will
use Anaconda, a popular package for doing projects in analytics. Anaconda includes
Jupyter Notebooks, a tool that runs on a web browser and can execute codes in Python
and R. Jupyter combines both code and text formatting, thus facilitating not only the
meaningful presentation of an analytics project but also its reproducibility. The first part
of the course will cover fundamental Python programming concepts, data structures,
object oriented programming, and the use of Python modules. The second part will focus
on specific Python modules that are useful for performing analytics: numpy for scientific
computing, pandas for data manipulation, and matplotlib for plotting. This course
requires some programming background.

 Business Strategy and Analytics (2 units) - The course will focus on the use of data as a
strategic tool for decision making. It will instill a general analytical intuition needed to
develop strategies for organizations to compete and operate more effectively and
efficiently. Students will understand the organizational environment in which Analytics
exists. They will learn the interaction of many competencies, people, and processes
involved in any Analytics project to properly manage the information flow between the
business-driven and technically-oriented environments.

 Descriptive Analytics, Visualization & Storytelling (Storifying Analytics) (2 units) -

The course renders itself to be called “Storifying Analytics”, which aims to teach the
business executive (or student) to make sense of big data, describe and visualize it, and
communicate it effectively in story form. This course preaches “Story first” and it
contextualizes data and analytics as the driving force in making an organizational story
 more organic and strategic. The course has three major parts: 1) Fundamentals of
Storytelling, 2) Data Visualization, and 3) Delivery.

 Predictive Analytics (2 units) - This course will cover popular data mining frameworks
to model patterns and trends in the data to understand the future or fill in missing
information. It will introduce computational methods in statistics, natural language
processing and machine learning, and how these techniques are integrated and deployed
to effectively harness the power of predictive analytics in an organization. Model
implications, impact, and assumptions will be discussed as they pertain to a variety of
business problems. Students will learn common supervised and unsupervised methods,
algorithms and techniques for answering predictive questions from data.

 Prescriptive Analytics (2 units) - The course will cover theories and practices aimed at
identifying the optimal solution given the constraints and the objective. It will introduce
computational methods in operations research e.g. optimization and simulation models.
Students will be able to transform a given optimization problem into analytical models to
provide decision-makers with advice on what best action to take.

 Data Management (2 units) - The course will enable students to develop and implement
data management strategies, incorporating privacy and data security, policies and
regulations, and ethical considerations.

 Data Engineering (2 units) - The course will cover the whole data management process
from acquisition or creation, storage, retrieval and maintenance of data that will be
analyzed. Without being software engineers, students will learn to handle data
programmatically–gather, store cleanse and manipulate data for analytics modeling.

 Management of Analytics Projects (2 units) -The course will cover the typical phases
in an analytics project. However, projects are often characterized by uncertain or
changing requirements and high implementation risk. These projects could either be to
deploy new analytics solutions or maintaining or enhancing existing solutions. The
students will learn how to plan, manage, evaluate and direct analytics projects from
beginning to end.

 The Human Perspective of Analytics (2 units) -The course will aim to identify, define
and prioritize ethical concerns specific to data analytics as they pertain to persons,
organizations, and society. Data analytics is a fast-evolving phenomenon with poorly
understood consequences. Students will identify and explore the ethical implications of
data analytics for both users and consumers of data.

 Ethics and Law in Data and Analytics (2 units) - The course will cover the ethical and
legal frameworks of data analytics. Powerful tools in analytics to create real-world
outcomes which are either for good or for ill. Topics include Students will develop and
 implement data management governance and strategies that incorporate privacy and data
security, policies and regulations, and ethical considerations.

 Capstone | 6 units - In a culminating project, the student draws on the breadth and depth
of the curriculum to provide an integrative and comprehensive analytics solution for the
client in a capstone project.
