Turn data into insights—and insights into better business decisions!
The Business Intelligence Graduate Certificate prepares students to transform data into actionable insights that support effective business decision-making. Through a hands-on, technology-driven curriculum, students learn how organizations integrate, analyze, visualize, and communicate data from multiple sources to solve business problems and improve performance.
Students gain practical experience using leading business intelligence and analytics technologies from SAP, SAS, Microsoft, and other industry partners, developing skills that connect business needs with real-world technology solutions. The minor is open to students across majors and is particularly valuable for those pursuing careers in business analytics, information technology, consulting, data-driven management, and enterprise systems.
