The Dana Center's Introductory Statistics: Analyzing Data with Purpose (ISAP) is a college-level course that is grounded in data, intended to serve students pursuing careers in business, allied health, nursing, and the social and behavioral sciences.

Students are asked to learn from and communicate with data, with a focus on the investigative process that leads to data-based conclusions. Students construct and test hypotheses, solve problems, reflect on their work, and make connections between concepts.

The Dana Center's Data Analysis Tools facilitate studentsb data analysis and exploration, developing an understanding of important concepts such as sampling variability.

Three or four credits, with the same instructor, are recommended. Optional corequisite support materials are available for students designated as underprepared and are aligned with each of the activities of the ISAP course.
