New Certificate in Business Analytics

Now you can earn your Business Analytics Certificate at San Francisco State University, in one of the most innovative business and technology regions in the U.S.—the San Francisco Bay Area.

A Rigorous, Standout Program  
Our certificate is more comprehensive than workshops and short-term programs offered elsewhere in the Bay Area. In fact, you'll acquire skills, typically developed during a 120-unit degree program, in just one academic year (24 units). 

Curriculum for Your Career 

Business analysts are in demand across corporate, governmental and nonprofit sectors. With our interdisciplinary curriculum, drawing from the fields of decision sciences, information systems and economics, you will develop skills that you can apply to your career in finance, marketing or beyond. 

Expert Faculty 

You will learn from our faculty of experts who bring today’s industry challenges into the classroom and leverage their Bay Area networks to support you in your internship search. 

International Students Welcome 

International students have the chance to get an F-1 visa and attend an immersive program in the San Francisco Bay Area. Our experienced staff will guide you through your study abroad experience.  

International students are eligible for Optional Practical Training (OPT). OPT allows you to work in the U.S. for up to one year upon program completion.
