Business Analytics Certificate

Business analytics is one of the fastest growing areas in the industry as employers seek qualified employees capable of analyzing complex data to make informed decisions. The graduate certificate in business analytics, offered through our AACSB accredited and nationally ranked Kania School of Management, can be completed in as little as 6 months. Classes are offered on-campus or online in an asynchronous modality.

The curriculum is comprised of 4 courses (12-credits), 2 required ( BUAN 571 - Introduction to Business Analytics and BUAN 572 - Data Mining ) and 2 electives. Students without business knowledge in statistics, management science, and information systems may need to take up to 3 credits of extra foundational courses (based on the student’s prior academic preparation and work experience, some, or all these one-credit modules may be waived).

Admission requirements include a 3.00 undergraduate GPA (on a 4.00 scale) from an accredited institution. GRE or GMAT is not required.
