Business Analytics

Business analytics managers ask questions such as: How do you analyze vendor contracts? What materials are required to complete a job order? How do you calculate a project’s estimate to completion?

Business analytics examines and analyzes business processes, and then uses a variety of approaches and technologies to improve efficiency and quality. This program will help you develop problem solving skills and learn to think “outside the box” to find ways to reduce costs and improve the quality of a company’s goods and services. You'll complete formal presentations, group projects and various case studies during your degree.
