The Graduate Certificate in Business Analytics provides students with a foundation in business analytics. The aim of the certificate is to satisfy the large and rapidly increasing demand in the marketplace for data-driven decision making in business. Students learn how to understand and apply data analytics techniques in business decisions. Demand for these skills has been driven predominantly by exponential growth in the generation of unstructured data by consumers – often referred to as the “Big Data Revolution.” Students considering graduate study in business analytics learn how to turn abstract data into important information that can be used in business decisions.
