Data analytics is an area of strong employment growth. A recent study by McKinsey Global Institute projects approximately 500,000 jobs requiring data analysis skills by 2018, with a projected shortage of approximately 190,000 jobs. The NJCU School of Business program enables graduate students with an interest in analytics to focus their studies on techniques suitable to specific business disciplines such as finance, marketing, logistics, and accounting.
