Business Intelligence Major: On Campus or Online

Major in Business Intelligence

The business world is producing mountains of data, and companies can’t find enough people to help them turn data into actionable intelligence.

Our Business Intelligence degree is custom-built to fill these needs.

Expert faculty provide students with highly sought-after skills like programming, problem-solving, database management, and advanced analytical techniques. Learn this all on the same state-of-the-art software used by working analysts.

The CIS component of the degree is supported by classes from our ABET-accredited CIS program. Students also get training in market research, and a carefully-designed core of business classes—all within our AACSB-accredited College of Business.

Bring us your curiosity, and earn a degree with incredible career prospects.
