Post-Baccalaureate Diploma in Business

Analytics
The Diploma in Business Analytics (Post-Baccalaureate) is aimed at students who have already obtained
a bachelor’s degree, who have strong math skills, and who are interested in pursuing concentrated studies
in Business Analytics. Business analytics makes extensive use of data, statistical and quantitative
analysis, and predictive modeling to help make decisions and to improve operations and sales. We expect
graduates from the program to be competent in analysing data so that they can identify opportunities and
help make decisions that improve future performance.

In the first year, students are introduced to statistical analysis, quantitative methods, and database
approaches.

In the second year, students are exposed to advanced subject matter, like data mining techniques, data
visualization, and predictive modeling.

In the last semester of the program, students have the opportunity to do a 12-week internship placement
with an organization or carry out a capstone project. In both cases, they will have the opportunity to apply
their skills to an analytics project.
