Overview

Core competencies include critical thinking skills, data acquisition skills, data analysis techniques, the application of economic theory to analyze economic data, communication skills, and proficiency in the use of data analytic computer software used in the workplace.

Students of the Business Data Analytics from The University of Akron gain experience in applying economic theory in a wide variety of settings and round out that training with data analytic coursework from other disciplines within the College of Business Administration and elsewhere. After completing the program, students can expect job opportunities as analysts in a wide variety of fields, including general business; banking; financial services; federal, state and local government; consulting; and not-for-profit organizations.

All College of Business programs are accredited at the highest possible level by AACSB International (the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business). In addition, the College is one of only 171 schools that have earned separate accounting accreditation. The college has been consistently rated as one of the best business schools in the nation by the Princeton Review and ranked in the top 100 of all undergraduate programs by BusinessWeek magazine.

Throughout the curriculum, students work with real-world data sets in answering real questions about the business and economic world. They gain experience in confronting data problems (e.g. collection and quality issues, limitations of published data series) and develop skills to present answers in a stunning and visual way.

Paid-for credit internship and cooperative work experience opportunities are available where students see how their education is applied in real-world settings. Guest speakers expose students to experiences of key members of the business community, nonprofit organizations, and the government.
