Fairfield’s business intelligence and business analytics graduate certificates are intentionally designed to build directly into an MSBA or an MBA. At any time, you can transition into the master's program through a simplified application process—without repeating any coursework.

Two certificate options

Fairfield University offers two graduate certificates in analytics, available online or on campus. The Business Intelligence Certificate is designed for those new to analytics, covering foundational concepts, while the Business Analytics Certificate is for those with an advanced background, focusing on skills needed to manage and interpret big data. Both programs aim to enhance your expertise in data-driven decision-making.
