Business analytics focuses on the use of data driven, analytical, and computing approaches for effective business decision making and management. Data mining, predictive modeling, forecasting, business intelligence analysis, and simulation have become critical across business functions such as marketing, finance, and human resource management. The Business Analytics minor helps students develop skills in these areas and enhances their knowledge and marketability. The minor program is open to majors from other units and colleges. Students must also consult their home colleges about the acceptability and applicability of the Information and Decision Sciences course credit toward their degree.
