Today’s businesses share some characteristics. Ecosystems they are in requires them to be agile, profit oriented, responsive to customer demands, resilient to risks and uncertainties, concomitantly creative to accommodate their ecosystems’ dynamism, subject to varying governmental controls, and more. The organizations are flooded with data coming from within and outside ecosystems, which challenges their decision-making mechanisms.

Amount of data available to organizations grow exponentially each year. Rather than making “seat-of-the pants” kinds of decisions, businesses are in need of making more informed, and more data-driven decisions to increase their performances. Such decisions can only be made with the help of individuals who understand the business, have a solid knowledge of analytics, and possess good communication skills.

However, there is a shortage of such individuals who can bridge the gap between business data available in hand, and actionable decisions that businesses need. According to GlassDoor’s "Best Jobs in America 2016, and 2017" analytics related positions are the most sought-after in terms of job openings, salary, and job satisfaction ratings.

At İstanbul Şehir University, we want to equip our students with skills, help them acquire the know-how to monetize available data in hand. Our interdisciplinary program is designed to connect each individual course to a certain skill set that a good analyst must have. Our instructors with both professional and academic backgrounds are hand-picked to offer our students the state-of-the art approaches in analytics. We want to educate future leaders of analytics who understand the business, analyze data, and effectively communicate/implement their actionable results.
