Business Analytics Graduate/Professional Certificate at University of Wisconsin-Madison

Programme overview

The Graduate Business Analytics Certificate program prepares students to use analytics for making decisions with a business mindset—seeking answers to questions in order to define the problem, gather necessary data, convert those data to decisions, arrive at and support a business‐appropriate answer, and successfully communicate that answer in a form appropriate to the audience. By combining analytics with business knowledge, we prepare our students to function successfully in the data‐rich business environment.

A student must discuss the certificate requirements with program directors and/or the certificate directors before declaring with the form at the certificate website.

If you graduate in the spring or summer semester, you must apply by December 15 of the previous year. If you graduate in the fall semester, you must apply by April 15 of your graduating year. All Graduate School students must utilize the Graduate Student Portal in MyUW to add, change, or discontinue any graduate/professional certificate.
