Business Analysis is the practice of enabling change in an organizational context, by defining needs and recommending solutions that deliver value to stakeholders. While business analysis practitioners are often hired as business analysts, many essential jobs, such as project and product management, quality assurance, and system analysis, all rely heavily on business analysis skills for success.
The Certificate in Business Analysis focuses on providing you with practical skills needed to successfully perform business analysis. Instructors in this program are experienced business analysis practitioners. Step-by-step, they will help you learn how to identify business needs; elicit, analyze and validate business requirements; and recommend real solutions to enterprise problems: Throughout the program, you will develop immediately applicable analysis tools. Upon completion of the program, you will also have a substantial portfolio demonstrating all aspects of your work on a business analysis project.
There are no prerequisites for this program, but it is recommended that students have three years of prior business experience and/or a bachelor’s degree. Consisting of six required courses totaling 93 hours of lecture and discussion, the Certificate in Business Analysis uses lectures, classroom discussion, exercises, case studies and a final class project to prepare future Business Analysts. 9.3 Continuing Education Units will be awarded to the certificate graduate.
