Business Analytics, Post-Baccalaureate Certificate

Organizations are increasingly dependent on professionals who can gather the right data and make data-based decisions. The business analytics post-baccalaureate certificate covers three distinct areas of business analytics — database knowledge, data analytical skills and application of analytics in decision-making.

Admission Requirements

The Chaifetz School uses a holistic admissions approach to carefully evaluate all applicants, considering every aspect of their application. While an undergraduate degree is required for admission, a business background is not. Applicants must submit their:

Continuation Standards

Students must maintain a cumulative grade point average (GPA) of 3.00 in all graduate/professional courses.
