Data drives today’s business decisions — and organizations need professionals who can turn numbers into insights. The Business Analytics B.S. program at The Feliciano School of Business equips you with the analytical skills and technical tools to collect, interpret, and apply data in ways that improve organizational performance and strategy.

You’ll gain hands-on experience with Python, Tableau, SQL, machine learning, and artificial intelligence while learning how to frame business questions that can be solved with data. The program culminates in a capstone project, where you’ll consult on a real-world challenge and deliver actionable recommendations to a business client.

Graduates are prepared for careers in data analysis, business intelligence, consulting, and beyond — helping companies across industries realize their full potential through smart, data-driven decision making.
