The online Post-Baccalaureate Certificate in Business Analytics is designed to provide you with the skills needed to analyze and interpret data to make strategic business decisions, solve complex issues, and increase efficiency within your organizations.

Courses utilize analytical tools and software designed to help you learn the effectiveness of analytics and technology to reach solutions through a quantitative and qualitative approach. You can customize your certificate through one of four course sequences:

Leveraging Analytics
Aligning analytics with business challenges is critically important to the success of any business analytics strategy. Learn the role analytics plays in the relationship between strategy and value.
Managing Data
With the explosion of disparate data sources, organizations must build a solid data foundation to achieve value from their data. Learn how to extract, transform, and store disparate data into a format which can efficiently be utilized for analytics.
Predictive Analytics
Developing a road map for the future is predominant in many aspects of business today and will only become more ubiquitous as the amount of available data grows. Learn how to unlock patterns and identify trends to guide future decisions.
Uncovering Insights
With the explosion of technology, companies now have more information than ever at their fingertips, and need to create the framework, tools, and techniques to help extract valuable insights. Learn how to utilize visualization, storytelling, and mapping to understand the value of data.
Customized Certificate
Combine courses from any of the above sequences to create your own customized certificate focused on your interests and goals.

Upon completion, you will have gained communication, creative and critical thinking, and leadership skills that can be applied in your area of work.
