Overview
Build a career in the growing and important field of business analytics. As firms have access to increasingly large amounts of data about their customers, costs, and suppliers, highly trained analysts who examine this information have become essential for improving operations, increasing the yield on marketing programs, and optimizing pricing and financing.
The Business Analytics program from University of California, Riverside is a rigorous STEM program jointly offered by the School of Business and the Department of Statistics in the College of Agricultural and Natural Sciences.
The curriculum focuses on:
- Statistical computing to describe marketing, logistics and financing patterns
- Testing models for improved operating efficiency, lowering costs and targeting the needs of customers
- Forecasting revenues and consumer demand
- Identifying trends in financial markets and using financial data to hedge operations
All students in the program take highly quantitative courses in data analysis and statistical computing, as well as a two-quarter, experiential learning capstone class that applies your understanding of business analytics to a project.
Gain your degree in nine months of intensive study or follow a flexible schedule that combines your studies with industry work experience.
