The course emphasizes learning by doing, with hands-on exercises that reflect real business analytics tasks and a final project using real-world data.
The Brandeis University Summer School's "Introduction to Data Analytics with Excel" is a 10-week asynchronous online course designed for undergraduate business students, though exceptional high school students may be admitted to select courses. This course provides a foundational understanding of data analysis, visualization, and interpretation using Microsoft Excel, a widely used tool in business environments. Students will gain practical skills through recorded lectures, guided demonstrations, readings, and applied problem sets that simulate real business analytics tasks. The curriculum emphasizes hands-on learning, enabling students to organize data, perform descriptive statistical analysis, create meaningful visualizations, and apply basic analytical methods for data-driven decision-making. A culminating applied analytics project using real-world data will challenge students to analyze economic activity patterns, develop visualizations, and present their findings, integrating technical Excel skills with analytical reasoning and business communication.
Students engage with recorded lectures, guided demonstrations, readings, and applied problem sets on a flexible schedule, while meeting structured weekly deadlines. Students should expect to spend approximately 8-10 hours per week engaging with course materials, completing assignments, and working on their final project.
This course is ideal for students interested in developing practical data analysis skills directly applicable to internships and entry-level business positions.
