Visualizing Course Descriptions

This year, I have been experimenting with cleaning, analyzing, and visualizing text data in R. The generated word clouds show the most common words used in course descriptions for programs housed within the University of Pennsylvania School of Social Policy and Practice's programs (i.e., Social Work, Social Policy, and Nonprofit Leadership). The data were originally scraped in June 2021 from the University of Pennsylvania's 2020-21 University Course Catalog. Links to program courses can be found in the second column of this Excel Workbook. You can download the project from my GitHub repository here.
