Business Data Analytics Concentration

Business Data Analytics Concentration Overview

Business Data Analytics is a concentration that combines foundational quantitative and analytics skills, programming knowledge, and business and economics applications. There is a growing demand for college graduates with skills in effective design, collection, storage, access, interpretation, and protection of data, with related jobs expanding as well. Compared to the Data Science minor, this concentration focuses more on business and economics applications and is more broadly accessible to Clark students in different disciplines. Overall, this concentration complements many existing minors and majors at Clark and can potentially augment the attractiveness and student outcomes of many academic programs.

*Students completing the Management major should complete the Data Analytics track in the major, not the separate concentration.

Students interested in declaring the Business Data Analytics concentration should reach out to the School of Management.
