What to expect

In the age of information, trends and rapidly changing digital landscapes, data is king. Yet many professionals struggle to confidently interpret, communicate or question the data that drives decisions. This professional skills course aims to close that gap.

Designed for professionals across industries and roles, this 6-week microcredential builds practical, ethical and workplace-relevant data literacy. Through real-world projects, AI-supported practice and hands-on tools, learners will move from the basics of data exploration and collection to cleaning, analyzing, visualizing and storytelling. By the end of this professional development course, learners will be equipped to move from analysis to action—developing visual narratives and presentations that engage stakeholders, bolster buy-in and drive results.

Successful learners will be issued a badge from SNHU Professional Skills. This badge can be proudly displayed on social media and shared with employers. Plus, if you decide to continue your education, you may even be able to transfer up to 9 credits towards an undergraduate program at SNHU. Please check the Professional Skills Policies page to learn more about Credit for Prior Learning.

This data literacy class was an excellent introduction into data collection, cleaning, and storytelling. I learned so much about what data cleaning means and how to clean data effectively to help me be more efficient in my daily work. I also learned more about storytelling and how to articulate data so it resonates with and is relevant to the audience at hand. These skills will support critical thinking about the data and message I need to communicate.

This work will help me develop ideas for an actual research protocol that I am developing for my work. I am happy to be thinking in advance of what data we will need to look at during this exploratory phase.

This was such a great learning experience, I really enjoyed being challenged the past few weeks. This was so out of my comfort zone but now I'm much more confident in the data analytics realm. Working hands on with Tableau these past few weeks was where I noticed my biggest improvement. I understand not only what the application is but how to tell a story and know my audience. This has been such a great experience, I'm proud to carry this into my day to day and implement these tools/insights into my workplace
