Data Literacy: Exploring and Visualizing Data

Building Confidence With Data, Not Just Charts

Offered by SAS, this beginner specialization is less about a specific tool and more about a mindset: reading data critically, cleaning it responsibly, and visualizing it in a way that tells an honest story.

Who it's for

Anyone whose job now touches data — which is most jobs — but who's never had formal training in exploring it, cleaning it, or presenting it clearly to others.

What you'll practice

• Exploratory data analysis and correlation basics
• Data cleansing, wrangling, and preprocessing
• Turning analysis into clear data storytelling and presentation

It's a smaller program so far, with just over 1,000 learners, but its focus on literacy over tooling makes it a genuinely useful starting point before committing to a heavier, software-specific analytics track.
