Businesses are increasing data-driven in all aspects of their operations and recognize the power of information systems to support business analytics initiatives. Faculty in the ISBA department have a strong foundation in business, data analytics and information systems and our courses reflect the data-intensive nature of information systems applications. We train our students to create systems that allow organizations to use data assets effectively and develop quantitative models using predictive analytics to solve critical business problems. Studying ISBA prepares students for a broad range of information systems careers in businesses, by providing a strong foundation in business intelligence and data mining to reflect the growing trend where business analytics needs drive the demand for information systems applications.
