Certifications
Different professions and employers may have some industry and tool certifications available that could be helpful down the road. While SNHU doesn't specifically call out any certifications for business analytics at this time, it does not hurt to be aware of what is out there should you be interested. It may be useful to look at LinkedIn to see which companies are hiring for the jobs that you might be interested in and see what they are listing as certifications that might be preferred. Also using LinkedIn, you could identify several professionals in your industry and see what certs they might have.
