Why should I study business analysis and analytics?

Data gathering is the fastest growing area of business, and with that growth comes a higher demand for those with an understanding of business principles. This emphasis can stand alone for those interested in consulting or specializing in one of the disciplines within business analysis and analytics. You can also pair this emphasis with another emphasis to distinguish the quantitative, analysis, and project management skills developed within this program.

Some common job titles for those going into fields related to business analysis and analytics include:

• Business analyst
