Our data analytics concentration will give you the tools to understand how data is collected, prepared, stored, analyzed, modeled, and visualized so you can help drive sound business decisions. Data is more available than ever because of the internet, social media, automated data collection tools, and large information databases. And businesses need skilled professionals capable of utilizing these vast quantities of raw data in a systematic, organized way. You’ll explore four types of data analytics—descriptive, diagnostic, predictive, and prescriptive—to be able to determine what happened in the past and why, to gain the tools to understand what may happen in the future, and to help understand what actions to take to support effective decision-making. You’ll be prepared to serve in a high-demand field in various roles—data analyst, business analyst, intelligence analyst, market research analyst, and more.
