In the Data Driven Manager specialization, you will learn how to first understand the type of data that you have (or want to generate), then describe it with numbers and graphs to communicate with your audience. You will practice using probability and distributions to understand the underlying nature of your data to make decisions and solve problems in a way that increases the likelihood of a desired outcome. You will learn the steps to create a plan to answer business and engineering questions and reduce risk when making decisions. You’ll study how to determine best- and worst-case scenarios using data. Finally, you’ll acquire data analysis skills to answer business and engineering questions that will help you make appropriate decisions.
This specialization can be taken for academic credit as part of CU Boulder’s Master of Science in Data Science (MS-DS) degree offered on the Coursera platform. The MS-DS is an interdisciplinary degree that brings together faculty from CU Boulder’s departments of Applied Mathematics, Computer Science, Information Science, and others. With performance-based admissions and no application process, the MS-DS is ideal for individuals with a broad range of undergraduate education and/or professional experience in computer science, information science, mathematics, and statistics.

As leaders in your chosen field, you need to not only know how to ask the right questions but also answer them using data-based methods. Through this class, you will be able to get to the bottom of what you really want to know, describe the associated data related to that question, and visualize the information from that data to understand and explain the results. This course can be taken for academic credit as part of CU Boulder’s Master of Engineering in Engineering Management (ME-EM) degree offered on the Coursera platform. The ME-EM is designed to help engineers, scientists, and technical professionals move into leadership and management roles in the engineering and technical sectors. With performance-based admissions and no application process, the ME-EM is ideal for individuals with a broad range of undergraduate education and/or professional experience.
