Seminars are provided to allow and encourage students and faculty members to pursue topics of mutual interest beyond the scope of regular classes. Seminars may be arranged as extensions of existing courses, as special topics courses, as undergraduate research projects or as honors projects. Students must prearrange seminars with faculty members on or before classes begin; no student may register for a seminar without prior departmental approval. Seminars carry from one to four credits and may be repeated for credit with permission of the department. Lower- and upper-level seminars in selected topics.

May also be offered at the 390 level.

This course is a hands-on introduction to business analytics. In this course, students will learn to convert quantitative data into information that can be used to help guide business/government decision making. This course provides students with the fundamental concepts and tools needed to understand the emerging role of business analytics in organizations. Students will apply modern data mining tools to various data sets in an analytical software environment. Emphasis is placed on concepts, applications, and interpretation of results as well as professional skills like communication, teamwork, and presentation.

This course is a hands-on introduction to statistical learning methods. Statistical learning refers to a set of tools for modeling and understanding complex data sets. This course covers many statistical learning methods such as estimation, linear and multiple regression, clustering and classification, ANOVA, and non-parametric analysis. In addition to programming techniques for statistical learning methods, students will work on professional skills including communication, teamwork, and presentation. The course is to be taught in the 3 week term of the spring semester.
