The business analytics minor complements many majors (including all business majors) by providing the managerial, analytical, and technical skills needed to gather data in real-time, store and organize the data, analyze the data using quantitative methods, and use the resulting information to make decisions that will allow an organization to gain competitive advantage. Coursework includes fundamental information technology and statistical concepts, database management and data warehouses, regression analysis in business, optimization of business systems using management science models, analysis of large data sets using data mining and business intelligence techniques.

For details regarding admission to FSB minors and availability of coursework, please refer to the information at the beginning of this section (under Farmer School of Business "Minors"). Students may earn either the Business Analytics Minor or the Analytics Co-Major.

Note: For statistics majors at least 12 credit hours must be courses taught by Farmer School Faculty.
