About the Courses
The Business Analytics Co-Major is an applied program which complements existing business majors and cannot be taken as a stand-alone major. The focus is on the ability to communicate the business analysis of data that spans all disciplines, without the heavy scientific component. There is no program-specific prerequisite requirement as Business Statistics is a course in the business core required of all majors.
Three separate but related areas emerged in the last decade: data science, big data and data analytics. Our business analytics program intersects with elements of all three areas, emphasizing business applications and business skills but without the deep programming and machine learning skills that are required of data science.
