Business Analyst Certificate Program

Business analysts (BA) are now recognized as crucial within today’s fast-paced organizations for implementing business and technology change. The role of a BA is also recognized through the IIBA’s CBAP and CCBA Industry Certifications. Today’s organizations rely on BAs to analyze stakeholders’ needs, assess required changes and then work with the business and IT to implement those changes as quickly as possible.

BAs need to have the ability to analyze the structures, policies and operations of an organization and then provide solutions to help the organization achieve its objectives. To do this, BAs need to understand the various methods and techniques to implement business change and deliver technology solutions.

DePaul’s Business Analyst Certificate Program prepares students for the IIBA’s industry certification and provides them with a tool belt of approaches, methods and techniques necessary for a BA to deliver value throughout the business/IT lifecycles of change. The BA-centric roles taught within the program include: facilitator, requirements analyst, business process/workflow modeler, task/user interface designer and business entity modeler.

Additionally, you will be introduced to business and software changes methods for process transformation, process improvement, software migration, packaged-based implementation and project lifecycle patterns, including agile, incremental and waterfall.

This ten-week program dives into the International Institute of Business Analysis™ (IIBA®) current and upcoming releases of A Guide to the Business Analysis Body of Knowledge® (BABOK® Guide), supplemented with the practical use of methods and techniques supported by examples and other marketplace resources.
