Harness the power of big data to solve intractable problems. Learn how to manage technical experts in the fastest-growing field in business.

Whether you’re a manager looking to update your skills in data analytics, an entrepreneur with a fresh vision for using data, or a working professional hoping to better interpret your engineers’ findings, you’ll expand your career prospects by learning to harness the potential of massive data sets. At Clark University, we give you a thorough grounding in the three key areas of business analytics—descriptive (what happened), diagnostic (why it happened), and prescriptive (how to make it happen).

The business analytics certification is a perfect fit for the part-time working professional. As you progress through the program, you’ll learn the communication skills necessary to share actionable knowledge with colleagues in fields such as business administration, public administration, policy analytics, health management, and education. You’ll also build credits toward our master’s program if you decide that a full degree in analytics is right for you.
