In a global, digital world, all businesses, products, markets, and economies face common pressures — make smart decision making faster, make it easier to measure success, and make success more routine. The B.S. in Business Analytics brings together the broad application of math and statistics, the intelligent design/computing of data science, and the business savvy of operations research and management to support success.
Business Analytics is much younger as a profession than accounting. The variety of people, skill sets, job titles, and work environments within Business Analysts is wide.

According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) Data, employment of management analysts – including business analysts – is projected to grow 10 percent from 2022 to 2032, much faster than the average for all occupations.
About 92,900 openings for management analysts are projected each year, on average, over the decade. Many of those openings are expected to result from the need to replace workers who transfer to different occupations or exit the labor force, such as to retire.
The median annual wage for management analysts was $99,410 in May 2023. The median wage is the wage at which half the workers in an occupation earned more than that amount and half earned less. The lowest 10 percent earned less than $57,840, and the highest 10 percent earned more than $172,280.
