Business Analytics and Information Systems, BSBA

Information and technology are at the center of our daily lives and transforming all aspects of business. With Suffolk’s new Business Analytics & Information Systems (BAIS) major, you’ll master a wide range of applications and software systems and learn how to bridge the gap between data science and foundational business decision-making skills.
While completing your coursework in the BAIS program, you’ll learn where and how data is stored, design a database and run queries, conduct simple data analysis, write basic program functions for data analysis or application development, and prepare for a career in emerging and evolving industries. Additionally, we have designed our courses and program to enable you to gain the skills to complete many industry-recognized certifications, including MS Office Excel, SAP, Google Analytics, Amazon Web Services (AWS), and more that will set you apart when you’ve completed your studies.
The BAIS major is anything but a cookie-cutter curriculum. Suffolk takes a unique approach in this program by offering you flexibility in deciding your own educational and experiential journey. With the BAIS, you can tailor your course selection with the available concentrations. No matter which concentration you choose, you’ll gain knowledge on fundamental database management, programming, and basic data analytics in courses that cover both business and management skills as well as gaining hands-on knowledge of high-demand technologically focused topics.
