Implement advanced strategies for gathering, reviewing and analyzing data requirements
“The value of an idea lies in the using of it.” – 托马斯. 爱迪生
Success in business increasingly depends on mastery of statistical analysis of very large amounts of data. High stakes decision making requires understanding of such tools as data analytics software and advanced analytics techniques, including predictive analytics, text analytics and text mining, customer analytics and data mining.
业务分析 related professions (后勤工作人员, Operations Research Analysts, and Management Analysts) will see between a 23% increase to over 33% with some of the highest rates of growth across the United States of America. (Bureau of Labor Statistics 2021)
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (Fiscal Year 2021), demand in this field is predicted to grow much faster than the average for all occupations. As technology advances and companies seek efficiency, optimization and cost savings, opportunities for employment in such positions as Operations Analyst, 后勤工作人员, 供应链分析师, 生产效率分析, and Market Research Analyst will only increase.
Current starting median salaries of employees with bachelor’s degree in 业务分析 range from $82,260 to $92,500.
The 第三章-funded ESA/STEM program will support creation of a major in 业务分析, including the technological supports such a program requires.
The curriculum will include such courses as:
- Introduction to 业务分析
- 建模方法
- 高级建模方法
- Analytics Communication and Management
- 市场营销分析
- 风险分析
- Advanced Predictive Analysis Modeling
A new 业务分析 Lab will be constructed to provide students learning opportunities with the types of analytics software used by major corporations.
The first courses in the 业务分析 degree program were offered in Fall 2021.
