Business Analytics

Today, more than ever before, businesses realize the importance of Business Analytics.

Ease of data capture has led to increased availability of data. Simultaneously, our ability to analyze data has been amplified by the growth in power of computers and the easy availability of powerful software for data analysis.

While some technology giants have led the way in this, most organizations are now aware of the possibilities and are looking to raise their game. Unlike in the past, every employee in a business must be able to approach data intelligently and to glean insights. There is just too much data floating around for it to be the exclusive domain of expert analysts and data scientists.

The Certificate in Business Analytics is designed for students who are seeking to learn data analytics concepts with an emphasis on how those tools can be applied to solve business problems.
