The business analytics minor includes core courses in statistics and computer applications as well as coursework that covers core concepts in descriptive, predictive, and prescriptive analytics. You'll learn how to use business data to forecast consumer demand, optimize prices and strategies, manage processes for quality or inventory control, and use technology to understand, interpret, present, and store data.
You'll also be able to choose elective classes in disciplines including marketing, information systems, economics, and mathematics. Elective classes cover a range of topics, including data visualization, marketing analytics, project management, digital marketing, database design, strategic marketing, operations research, and even mining operations—an important industry in Nevada.
