Throughout the program, you’ll work on real-life projects and scenarios to build a portfolio of 25 work samples you can share with potential employers. You’ll develop essential skills with projects that teach you how to write effective survey questions, scrub and validate data, apply analytic methods, and create visuals like charts and graphs. You’ll show your skills in compensation with a project that guides you through analyzing jobs, building salary ranges and structures, and evaluating equity issues.
