Business Analytics is the practice of transforming data into business insights to allow for better decision-making. By employing the latest tools, models and techniques, Business Analytics can help evaluate complex situations, consider all available options, predict outcomes and present critical risks for business decision makers.

The methods and models of analytics draw from disciplines including statistics, operations research, computer science, information systems and others. Business Analytics continues to be among the fastest-growing areas in business education in the United States.

A McKinsey report in 2016 emphasized that “most companies are capturing only a fraction of the potential value of data and analytics. Turning a world full of data into a data-driven world is an idea that many companies have found difficult to pull off in practice... and (leaving as a result) a great deal of that value still on the table.” Students who complete the Business Analytics major or concentration should be particularly strong candidates in the job market because of the continuing need in the marketplace for managers/analysts with strong analytical skills. Applications of analytics span a variety of industries and functional areas including marketing, finance, operations, HR, public policy, strategy, health care, tourism, sport, retail, etc. Some of the fastest-growing, most in-demand positions include:
