WHY DATA SCIENCE AND
BUSINESS ANALYTICS?
Top skills in the 21st century
Today, from regional offices to the boardroom - data drives decisions. So, data science
graduates are directly involved in the highest levels of the corporate decision-making
process. Data Science is one of the most in-demand sectors globally for 2021 and The
United States is the largest hub for data analysts. Every industry, be it finance, retail,
healthcare or information technology, has opened its doors for data science and
analytics professionals. According to a report shared by the U.S. Bureau of Labor
Statistics, data science expertise will drive a 27.9% rise in employment by 2026.
Business analytics is all about uncovering insights from raw data and using it to
influence business decisions positively. When companies can analyze their past
performances, they get to identify missed opportunities and subpar strategies.
