Enrollment is open for a Viterbo University Bachelor of Business Administration degree program in data analytics that will begin in fall 2024.
The newest academic major was developed in response to meetings with local employers, at which they articulated a need for employees who have the ability to analyze systems and complex data sets to make impactful business decisions.
“The data analytics program combines the university’s core business curriculum with courses in business intelligence, data analysis and computer science, machine learning and ethics,” said Tonya Wagner, vice president for academic affairs and institutional effectiveness at Viterbo University. “The program will help develop the next generation of ethically-centered and data-informed business leaders.”
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics predicts a 23% increase in data analytics positions such as business analyst, data integration specialist, project management analyst, fiscal analyst, IT data manager, etc. by 2031.
