Our online course offerings have expanded to include the following introductory courses:


New Course: Analyzing and Presenting Data

We have created a customized course in which USC Upstate faculty teach practical skills for analyzing and presenting data. This course shares ways to use Microsoft applications you already have to make the most of data, specifically featuring Excel, as well as Power BI, Copilot, and PowerPoint. Each course module includes helpful resources, video lessons from faculty, and assignments to submit for feedback. The first cohort will enroll fall 2026.
