  • Course Prerequisites

The Business Analytics program provides students with the knowledge and the skills necessary for employment and growth in analytical professions. Students complete course work in the following:

  • Statistical and analytic theory, best practices and analysis
  • Data mining and data warehousing
  • Predictive modeling
  • Project and operations management
  • Analytical tools and techniques

Related skills include business communication, critical thinking and decision making. Courses are hands-on, with an emphasis on application of theoretical and practical concepts. Students engage with the latest tools and technology utilized in today's analytics fields.

Students should possess an aptitude and affinity for mathematical, quantitative and statistical analysis, as well as basic computer skills. Familiarity with basic spreadsheets is recommended.

Students new to online learning are encouraged to enroll in in-person courses before enrolling in online sections. Students entering the program without previous higher educational experience should enroll in the traditional 16-week semester schedule versus the accelerated eight-week offerings.

Apply now

After students complete the two Wake Tech Business Analytics classes on SAS programming (BAS-150 and BAS-220), they receive a Wake Tech SAS University Badge that they can display on LinkedIn. They also may sit for the SAS Base Programming Specialist certification exam.

In addition to flexible eight- and 16-week courses, Wake Tech is ready to meet your company's business analytics training needs through tailored, for-credit curriculum.
