• Important Course Sequencing Information:
  • CIS 9660 Data Mining for Business Analytics has CIS 9650 and STA 9708 as prerequisites.
    • Students planning to graduate in three semesters should complete this course in their second semester so that they are ready to enroll in the capstone course BUS 9430 in their third semester.

    • The prerequisites are CIS 9340, CIS 9650, and CIS 9660. Before enrolling in the course, students must meet all prerequisites.
    • CIS 9650 & CIS 9660 are two-course sequence, therefore, they cannot be taken concurrently. Plan your schedule accordingly.
