About The Department

The canvas of business has been changed and still changing rapidly due to the disruptions initiated by the technology. It has taken the world by a storm, though a positive one. To keep up with these interferences in the ways of traditional business practices, Business Analytics has emerged as a new savior. Business Analytics is a discipline in which statistical principles, mathematical philosophies, and technological tools are applied on the data to get insights and new dimensions, to make better decisions that add value to the organization’s proficiency. In today’s technology-oriented world, organizations can store, analyze and interpret massive amounts of data. This ability also demands professionals who can analyze the available data appropriately and correctly infer it for cost efficiency and strategic drive. With the help of proper data analytics, organizations can achieve more significant revenues, more informed decisions, and improved operational efficiency. Therefore, it is the need for time to develop professionals who can fulfill the future needs and become part of the future workforce. The BS Business Analytics graduates will be able to work for different industries in different positions such as business analysts, operations analysts, people analysts, financial analysts, market and consumer analysts, etc.
