Associate in Arts & Sciences
BAB in Business Analytics
Department of Information Systems & Business Analytics
College of Business and Public Administration (CBPA)
Why study Business Analytics?
The focus of business analytics is the analysis of data to
develop decision or predictive models for use in a business environment. To be successful in this field, a graduate requires two primary sets of skills: those of analytics and those of business. You will complete the core associated with the BAB and also a portion of the analytics core associated with the BS in Data Analytics.
Career Opportunities
Employers are struggling to find potential hires in this field with the skills to understand the narrative behind data that enables excellence in business decisions. There is great demand for those with analytics skills. McKinsey Global Institute projected a shortage in the US by 2018 of “1.5 million managers and analysts with the knowhow to use the analysis of big data to make effective decisions.” A recent search matching just the word “analytics” on LinkedIn.com found more than 84,000 open positions in the US.
