Applied Analytics: Essential Tools and Techniques

Understanding how to transform data into actionable insights is increasingly important at ALL levels of an organization, whether you are making everyday decisions or informing future strategic plans. However, many decision makers lack awareness of commonly used analytics tools and techniques that can base these decisions in information and data. This course introduces students to methods for applying descriptive (What happened?), predictive (What might happen?), and prescriptive (What should we make happen?) analytics techniques to various business and operational challenges. Over four half-days, students will practice combining business data, common software tools, and various modeling and analysis techniques to quickly gain insights about operational performance, predict future outcomes, and develop optimal courses of action for business problems that might otherwise have gone unnoticed or have been deemed too challenging to approach.

Transfer, Withdrawal, and Refunds

If an accepted applicant finds it necessary to transfer to another session of the same program, one transfer will be allowed with no charge if arranged more than six (6) weeks prior. Additional transfers, transfers to another program, or those arranged less than six (6) weeks prior incur a charge of 10% of the current program fee.

The sponsoring company may identify a replacement, but the replacement candidate must be accepted for the program by meeting program requirements.

If an accepted applicant withdraws completely from a program, the following refunds will apply if Penn State Executive Programs is notified in writing within the time period stated:

  • A full refund will be given if notification is received more than six weeks prior to the start of the program.
  • A 50% refund will be given if notification is received between two (2) and six (6) weeks before the start of the program.
  • No refund will be made if notification is received two (2) weeks or less before the start of the program.

Note: All notification of withdrawals, transfers, and substitutions must be confirmed in writing by the registered participant or their agent. If written notification is not received, the full program fee will be assessed.

Cancellations

The University may cancel or postpone any course or activity because of insufficient enrollment or other unforeseen circumstances. If a program is cancelled or postponed, the University will refund registration fees but cannot be held responsible for any other related charges or expenses, including cancellation/change charges by airlines or travel agencies. In the case of postponement, as an alternative to a refund, program fees may be transferred to another session of that program.
