Students
Data is often the main focus of business analytics, but data alone doesn’t yield clear-cut recommendations or make difficult decisions. That’s up to the people who interpret and use the data, which is why Kelley focuses on preparing the business-minded problem-solvers that companies are seeking for this fast-growing field.
Kelley offers:
- Highly respected and ranked MBA and undergraduate programs
- Renowned faculty in a variety of fields and every aspect of the analytical process
- Internships, seminars, case competitions, and other opportunities to gain experience and network with potential employers
Major or Minor in Business Analytics
One of the first such programs in the nation, Kelley’s MBA major/minor in business analytics will not only train you in analytical skills such as spreadsheet modeling and data mining, but it will also help you develop a deep understanding of business. The result: you’ll know when and how to apply analytical techniques to solve business problems.
You’ll graduate strategically prepared to bridge the gap between senior decision-makers and technical analysts, helping the former draw conclusions from the information produced by the latter.
An ideal second major or minor, business analytics may be a good fit if you have skills or interests in mathematics, statistics, modeling, or information systems, or in fields such as finance, marketing research, and operations/supply chain management.
