Career Outcomes

Business Analytics is one of the fastest growing career paths in the US. The emergence of smart data discovery capabilities, machine learning, and automation of the entire analytics workflow has led to the increase in the size of the Business Analytics Market, with a significant shortfall in qualified professionals to support the needs of business.
