Business Analytics Major
Business, B.S.
In the modern business environment, data and information available to businesses and organizations are more vast and varied than ever before. As more and more information is available to businesses, the ability to effectively mine the data, develop decision support models using the data, and effectively develop strategies from the analytics becomes more critical to success. Building off a strong Business core curriculum designed to prepare students with an understanding of business purposes, structures, and processes, this major will prepare the student with further capabilities to perform in-depth analyses of data and systems. The Business Analytics curriculum is designed to help identify reasons for current business results, trends that will be important to the success of the business, and presentation skills to help influence decision makers.
