Seen any job postings that want data analytics or visualization skills, or familiarity with the program Tableau? As you plan your Spring classes, consider enrolling in MIS 361, a 2 credit elective course!
A short video teaser for the class is here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1UAoWvz8MNkAuY2YtTkQWDR09SGa8SHKO/view?usp=sharing
FAQ:
### What’s in it for me?
The key benefit is enhanced data visualization skills with Tableau and some examples to share during job interviews in your portfolio.
### What are the Prereqs?
The only prereq is either MIS 260 or DST 234.
### What will we do in class?
We will spend a lot of time hands on, building visualizations in Tableau and interpreting them. It will be more workshopping than lecture.
### How hard is the class?
The class is technical and will be very hands-on with Tableau so that you can tell employers about your skills. But if you did well in MIS 260 or DST 234 you’ll find this class easier.
### What will I walk away from this class with?
You’ll have a portfolio of Tableau dashboards you can talk about in interviews.
### Does this class fulfill any of the classes required for my major?
This is an elective, so it counts toward your total credit hour requirement, but does not fulfill any specific major requirements.
### When is the class?
The class is MWF from 10:50-11:50am on campus during Time 2 of Spring 2026 (03/09/26 – 05/08/26).
