Full course description
Course Overview
This is the third course in the Statistical Analysis and Data Visualization part of the Data Science and Business Analytics program. Having previously explored data visualization and exploratory data analysis in Python, this module introduces you to Tableau, a leading tool for building interactive and visually engaging dashboards and stories. You’ll gain hands-on experience in using Tableau to turn data into clear, compelling visual narratives.
Why enroll in this course?
While Python offers powerful tools for data visualization, Tableau provides a user-friendly interface to create dynamic, interactive visuals that are widely used in business environments. This course will help you master the basics of Tableau and teach you how to construct professional-quality dashboards that enhance data storytelling.

By the end of the module, you will have learned:
- The benefits and key features of Tableau
- How to navigate and use the Tableau interface
- How to create basic charts and visualizations
- How to build cohesive, interactive dashboards
- How to analyze different data types using Tableau
Structure
The course is completely self paced. It will take you approximately 15 hours to complete all three modules. Activities include, video lessons, readings, and self reflection activities. Upon successful completion of this course, you will receive a certificate of completion.
