New Degree: Business Data Analytics


Emporia State University is proud to announce a new bachelor's degree coming this Fall 2018, the Bachelor of Science in Business Data Analytics (BDA) program.

This is an application-based program that will provide students with a broad education in business analytics including data acquisition, data management, data transformation, data analysis, and data presentation.

The ubiquitousness of data demands for highly skilled and technical personnel who can conceive ways to analyze data to support competitive business decisions. So, what exactly does this mean for Emporia State? It means that we'll have the option of focusing on one of the hottest tech-industry fields. The BDA is designed to meet the rapidly growing industry needs for such highly skilled data analysts.

According to Forbes, "IBM predicts, demand for data scientists will soar 28% by 2020." Data is becoming vital in today's business, political, and technological world. However, data is nothing without a scientist who can deal with the growing amount of data from a variety of disciplines and transform it into usable information that will aid in predicting future outcomes.
