Has anyone taken the HBx course Business Analytics?

I'm looking to enroll in the next Business Analytics cohort from HBx and was wondering if anyone else has taken it before and what your opinions are on it?

For reference, the nonprofit I'm working for right now has offered to cover the cost for me, so as long as I'm accepted I do plan on completing it. I will be enrolling in undergrad next year, so I don't have much in class time with data analysis, but have done a decent amount of self study so that I can improve my work right now. I'm a data analyst for the organization and have access to huge databases of information on those that we help, and have been tasked with using that data to find correlations between certain circumstances and retention rates. I'm not sure if this class will be that helpful, but also more than anything it's just a topic I'm quite interested in.
