Through the curriculum of the 9-credit online business analytics certificate, you can learn to explore and analyze large data sets to support data-driven business decisions through the complete spectrum of analytics activities: descriptive (what happened), diagnostic (why it happened), predictive (what will happen), and prescriptive (what should happen).
Each course is offered in only one semester and all students must begin in the fall semester. By taking the three courses in sequential order, beginning with BAN 530, you will complete the required coursework to earn the certificate within a year.
