About the Program

How does a company design an effective social media campaign for its brand new product? How does a bank make credit card offers or detect fraud? How does a chain store stock its shelves with just the right products at the right price? Technology has made it possible to collect, store, process and analyze massive data sets that can help businesses make better decisions, but people with skills in business analytics are needed to convert the information contained in the data into business decisions. From the junior analyst providing daily reports on production to the CEO seeking to transform the business, all are looking for guidance and talent in business analytics.

LeBow students are uniquely positioned to address descriptive, diagnostic, predictive, prescriptive and preemptive questions across the business analytics life cycle, starting from the corporate generation of data through to applications for innovation and executive decision-making.

Examples of business analytics jobs include BA strategy consultants, business intelligence and performance management consultants, advanced analytics, and optimization consultants.

An additional distinguishing feature of the Business Analytics major is the required senior project (BSAN 460) where students work in small teams on business analytics projects that utilize real-world data. The projects require students to bring together all the key elements of the business analytics curriculum to derive insights for a business challenge. Experiencing this data-driven decision process is invaluable career preparation.

Writing-Intensive Course Requirements

In order to graduate, all students must pass three writing-intensive courses after their freshman year. Two writing-intensive courses must be in a student's major. The third can be in any discipline. Students are advised to take one writing-intensive class each year, beginning with the sophomore year, and to avoid “clustering” these courses near the end of their matriculation. Transfer students need to meet with an academic advisor to review the number of writing-intensive courses required to graduate.

A "WI" next to a course in this catalog may indicate that this course can fulfill a writing-intensive requirement. For the most up-to-date list of writing-intensive courses being offered, students should check the Writing Intensive Course List at the University Writing Program. Students scheduling their courses can also conduct a search for courses with the attribute "WI" to bring up a list of all writing-intensive courses available that term.
