Course Description: 

This course provides participants with essential tools to understand and apply data, information, and technology to public sector challenges. By engaging with data management practices, technological trends, and digital governance strategies, participants will enhance their ability to think critically, write analytically, and evaluate public policies and programs through a data-informed lens. Through this framework, they will assess the impacts of digital transformation on government operations, citizen engagement, and ethical decision-making, and develop the skills necessary to responsibly lead technological innovation in public organizations.

 

Micro-credential students will participate alongside degree-seeking students and are expected to actively engage in all course activities and assessments. The course is graded on a pass/fail basis, and earned micro-credentials may be applied toward academic credit if you later enroll in a Governors State degree program.
