General Education

Your future as a trusted professional and confident problem solver begins with some essential skills. Your General Education courses give you:

» Communication Skills…so that you can translate thoughts into words (spoken and written) and make the complex simple.
» Exposure to Arts/Humanities and Social/Behavioral Sciences … so that you see all problems in their larger human context.
» Mathematical Reasoning… so that you find and follow the quantitative thread connecting all scientific inquiry.
» Scientific Reasoning… so that you can apply the scientific method to phenomenon big and small.

Your B.S. in Business Analytics requires 120 credits — typically 15 credits across eight semesters.
