St. Francis Xavier University and Nova Scotia Community College (NSCC) have launched a new Business Intelligence and Analytics program. The collaborative offering means students can earn a BBA with Advanced Major plus a Graduate Certificate in Business Intelligence and Analytics in just four years.
"We are very excited about the new Collaborative Program in Business Intelligence and Analytics that we are embarking on with NSCC and we look forward to developing further partnership pathways in the future," said Dr. Amanda Cockshutt, StFX Vice President of Academics and Vice-Provost.
This dual credential program is designed for students who want to accelerate their education in the innovative and rapidly growing field of business intelligence and analytics. Students in the new program will receive the same training as other business students, with added immersion in the latest data reporting technologies and best practices.
"We're pleased to work with StFX University on this new pathway. These innovative partnerships between post-secondary institutions allow for greater mobility, opportunity, and flexibility for our learners," said Andrew Lafford, NSCC Dean of School of Technology and Environment. "As the province's IT industry continues to grow, these students will graduate with a unique skillset that will support important needs in the IT and business sectors."
Many business students looking for further specialization in a specific area enroll in a certificate program after they complete their degree. This program provides the opportunity to work towards both concurrently. In just four years of full-time study, students will graduate with two highly valued credentials to support a future in the technology sector.
