Thanks to this course, through videos and real-life cases, you will strengthen your abilities to use, understand, and interpret data. In this way, you will learn to define research problems, identify methodologies for data collection and analysis, interpret graphs, and acquire the foundations to support the decision making process in public management with verifiable data.

This course is "self-paced" so you can enroll at any time, even if the course has been open for a while.

If you choose the Audit Track , you can complete the course for free, but you won't have access to graded activities, and you won't be able to obtain a certificate upon course completion.

If you opt for the Verified Track , you can access the course unlimitedly and complete the graded assessments until the closing date by making a payment of USD 25. By doing so, if you pass the course, in addition to the verified certificate, you will receive a digital badge that allows you to transform how you share your academic and professional achievements, for example, on social media.

Do you know about edX financial aid to apply for the verified certificate and digital badge?

EdX offers financial assistance to students who have difficulties in making the payment. Enroll in the course and fill out this financial aid application.
