BUSINESS AND COMPETITIVE INTELLIGENCE

We graduate in-demand research analysts skilled in data extraction, data analysis, and data interpretation, who are also adept at presenting findings to decision makers in business and industry. With a curriculum rooted in the functional areas of business and data analytics, graduates of this program are capable of discovering future growth opportunities for organizations, identifying competitive advantages, and predicting industry trends and market demands. As the worldwide demand for skilled analysts continues to grow — the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates that jobs for market research analysts will grow by 19 percent by 2024 — you’ll stand out with a degree from our internationally recognized intelligence program.
