Data analytics courses in Wisconsin

12 data analytics programs with costs, results and funding that can make them free

10 schools offer these data analytics programs, and Wisconsin has approved every one for workforce funding. Each shows its price if you pay yourself and how past students did.

In Wisconsin, 4 of the 12 programs take students without a high school diploma, 7 ask for a diploma or equivalent and 1 asks for a bachelor's degree.

By kind, the 12 programs here are data analytics or database (associate degree, 7 programs), data analytics certificate or bootcamp (3 programs), database administration and SQL (1 program) and business and systems analysis (1 program).

How to pay for data analytics courses in Wisconsin

WIOA funding can pay for data analytics courses in Wisconsin

Every program on this page is approved for it. Whether you qualify, how much your local area pays and how to apply are on our page Does WIOA pay for job training?

Financial aid and grants for data analytics courses

Most students can get federal student aid for college, career school or trade school. A Federal Pell Grant, unlike a loan, usually doesn't have to be repaid. Ask the school whether its program qualifies.67

GI Bill for data analytics courses

Veterans, service members and qualified dependents can use GI Bill benefits for non-college training programs.8

The program list does not show which programs accept these. Ask the school.

Where the Wisconsin data analytics program numbers come from

Which Wisconsin data analytics programs are on this list?

These are the data analytics programs Wisconsin approved for WIOA funding (public workforce funding under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act), as reported to the US Department of Labor for program year 2024 (July 2024 to June 2025). Each state keeps its approved programs on an eligible training provider list (ETPL).9 The list here covers programs approved as of June 30, 2025. Schools that never applied for approval are missing, so this is a part of what Wisconsin offers.

How the prices and results of Wisconsin data analytics programs are measured

Prices are tuition and required fees for someone paying without workforce funding, as the school reported them; check the current price with the school. Results describe students who left each program in recent years, so they are no guarantee, and the yearly earnings are the reported quarter times four, an estimate. A program without a "Trained with WIOA funding" line may still take WIOA students. Where a field was left empty or withheld, the page says "Not reported", and "Left out" where a figure was filed but failed one of our checks; nothing is estimated to fill a gap. Where the numbers come from explains each figure in full.
