Boost your career by building in-demand business skills with our online graduate program in applied data science for business.
As data and technology pervade every sphere of business, companies seek professionals who can bridge the gap between deep technical knowledge and business functions. A recent search of "business analytics" jobs in Indeed.com yielded over 50,000 job listings with over 300 in the Portland Metro region. Business leaders today also need the skills to guide an organization through digital transformation and the knowledge to create customer and stakeholder value sustainably and ethically.
The number of analytics tools has increased exponentially over the last decade's data revolution. Demand for professionals with data science acumen continues to outstrip supply across industries, creating a talent gap in the fourth industrial revolution.
