Business Analytics, Post-Baccalaureate Certificate (Beginning Fall 2023)
Organizations are increasingly dependent on professionals who can gather the right data and make data-based decisions. The proposed 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:

- Two letters of recommendation
- Résumé
- Professional goal statement of fewer than 500 words
Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis once all application materials are received. The average time for admissions decisions is two weeks.
