Tampa, Fla. — Nov. 29
Increasing global competition, volatile economic conditions and unprecedented quantities of data have made business intelligence crucial to a company’s success. With the new online master certificate in business intelligence from Villanova University, professionals can study data architecture, analysis, modeling and measurement.
Knowledge of this in-demand discipline can also lead to new opportunities, with the Bureau of Labor Statistics “2010-11 Occupational Outlook Handbook” projecting employment of systems and database administrators to increase 30 percent through 2018. For project managers to marketing researchers, business intelligence answers critical questions.
Students engaging in Villanova’s new online program will take three courses: Essentials of Business Intelligence, Mastering Data Management and Technology, and Advanced Data Architecture and Intelligence. Upon completion of the courses, which include a certification exam and project, students will be recognized as a Certified Professional in Business Intelligence (CPBI).
As with Villanova’s other master certificate programs, students will be immersed in a 100 percent online video-based, e-learning environment, interacting with faculty and classmates through live chat and discussion boards.
