Business intelligence, or BI, is an array of strategies and technologies that organizations use to analyze business information and then translate that data into actionable insights that inform tactical business decisions. The term business intelligence is also used to describe a range of tools used by business decision-makers that provide swift and easily digestible access to observations, based on available data, about an organization’s current condition.
A BI MBA can be an excellent degree option for people who wish to go into the world of business, are adept at analysis and enjoy working with data. This type of degree may also help students prepare to pursue business leadership and management opportunities.
Earning a BI MBA can provide a wide range of potential benefits. Earning one may help you stand out in the eyes of employers when applying for an entry-level position, or may even allow you to apply directly for intermediate-level positions at some companies, depending on their requirements. Additionally, the business education of an MBA may help you develop skills you can use if you’re considering pursuing a management path in ways that a typical master's degree in analytics may not.
The amount of time it takes to complete a BI MBA varies based on the intensity of your school, the program, the course load and the amount of qualifying transfer credits you have prior to enrolling. At DeVry, you can earn your MBA with a Specialization in Business Intelligence and Analytics Management in an estimated 2 years and 8 months, or even more quickly with qualifying transfer credits3.
