Business Analytics

By majoring in business analytics, you’re positioning yourself at the forefront of this exciting and flourishing field — ethically leveraging data analytics to influence the business decisions of the future.

In today’s rapidly evolving digital landscape, businesses are inundated with data. This surge has created an unprecedented demand for professionals who can turn raw numbers into actionable insights through descriptive, predictive, and prescriptive analytics.

The demand for Business Analysts has skyrocketed in recent years and the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics predicts much faster than average growth in business analyst fields over the next decade. Careers may include: Business Intelligence Analyst, Marketing Analytics Manager, Operations Research Analyst, Market Research Analyst, Financial Analyst, Quantitative Analyst, and Data Analyst, among others.

A Program Designed for Your Success

Our program doesn’t just teach you how to analyze data; it empowers you to drive strategic decision-making.

You’ll dive into courses like AI Fundamentals for Business, Data Visualization, and Advanced Data Modeling Systems. Plus, you’ll get hands-on experience with industry-standard tools like Excel, Tableau, PowerBI, Python, and R. Our curriculum is designed to ensure that you’re not just ready for your first job — but for a lasting, rewarding career.

Our business analytics major is easily pairable with our other business programs to allow you the flexibility to craft a college experience that meets your career goals, while ensuring that you still graduate in four years.

Whether you decide to major only in business analytics, or pair your major with other program offerings, you’ll graduate from our School of Business with knowledge that extends far beyond textbooks, developing the skillsets most desired in today’s competitive business environment.

Our business graduates are highly sought after by major companies in the Milwaukee area, with many actively inquiring about our students prior to graduation.

We have a positive reputation of providing interns who are hard working and excellent communicators. We enable you to activate your greatest potential.

Our expert faculty know what they’re talking about because they’ve lived it

Within the School of Business at Wisconsin Lutheran College, you'll learn from business leaders who’ve worked at some of the largest and most prestigious companies on the Fortune 500 list, while gaining the skills and knowledge needed to apply critical thinking and analysis to business trends, organizations, and industries.

More importantly, our business faculty are Christian leaders, who have learned how to excel in the business world without compromising their faith or morals. They are not simply teaching you from a textbook. The stories and insights about how to succeed in business come from real-life experience. You get to inherit those insights directly from the source.

You’ll be set up to succeed. Class sizes are small, TAs are non-existent, and you won't find sprawling lecture halls here. WLC is a place where you develop personal relationships with not only your classmates but also your professors. They want you to succeed academically as well as grow spiritually in a safe, nurturing environment.
