The business analytics minor is for students interested in developing expertise in data science and data analytics with a specialization in the field of business. Students learn to analyze large quantities of data and discover value-oriented insights, becoming data-driven decision-makers in their organizations. Information is applied to a wide range of data-rich business domains such as accounting, economics, finance, marketing, human resource management, and supply chain management.

Benefits of Adding a Minor

A minor can help students complement their bachelor’s degree and stand out to future employers, expanding their employment opportunities as they study an additional area of interest. Complementary minors provide students the opportunity to demonstrate added expertise in their field and specialize in an area that may provide an edge in their job search, and also add knowledge that can be used throughout an individual’s career.
