UMPI Brother vs Sister Battle of 2022

[ss20ts]

BUS245 is a pain! When I took it, we had to write a program in a language that wasn't covered in the course content. The professor I had has since left the program. He didn't created the project and didn't like it. I worked with him 4 times through Zoom meetings to get my project completed. This was my most difficult course at UMPI. It is weird that a certificate on data analytics gives you credit for programming. What programming do you do in the certificate?

Thanks for sharing. I was curious of the difficulty of this course. My sister will most likely end up doing the certification even though she is leaning towards the Supply Chain Management degree over the Project Management. She will use the credits as electives vs. the BUS 245 + electives.

You spend time with R & SQL. You can run all of the simulations within the course. The process (art) of cleaning data is a significant part of the course. It felt like it would never end; however, it was valuable information with exercises that hammered home this important step/skill.

There's a bit of SQL in BUS345. The certificate sounds very different than the UMPI classes which makes sense since none of them are data analytics. Even BUS440 doesn't really go into analytics even though it's in the name. The course covered strategic management when I took it so very different than analytics.
