Business Analytics: From Data to Insights

Business Analytics Certificate

Wharton’s three-month online certificate program — Business Analytics: From Data to Insights — provides managers and leaders an understanding of how analytics can help improve their decision-making process. This program will help you look at data and identify insights, improve your ability to make predictions for the long term, and prescribe future actions that help make better business decisions.

Fueled by the most recent faculty research of the Wharton AI & Analytics Initiative, the Business Analytics program is designed to give participants an understanding of how to look at data and identify insights, improve their ability to make long-term predictions, and prescribe future actions to help make better business decisions.

The program is ideal for:

  • C-suite executives looking to keep pace with current trends, use business analytics as a strategic advantage, and make more data-backed decisions.
  • Mid- to senior-level managers looking to learn how analytics can help improve performance within their functional area while impacting business and growing in their roles.
  • Analysts who want to understand the business implications of analytics, better equip themselves to draw business relevant insights, and grow in their career.
