Why Consider a Business Analytics Minor?
A minor in Business Analytics can provide a student with the concepts and tools necessary to succeed in today's data-rich business world. The minor not only provides a solid foundation in basic analytics, but allows each student to choose analytics electives that are specific to their major or concentration. The Business Analytics minor will therefore strengthen a student's depth of knowledge in their major or concentration while also introducing you to a new and increasingly critical area of study. Career opportunities for students with a background in analytics include data analysis, data science, business intelligence, and quantitative analysis.
