BELLEVUE COLLEGE CERTIFICATE OF ACCOMPLISHMENT: Business Intelligence Analyst

What is it?

The Business Intelligence Analyst certificate is designed to prepare students for positions analyzing data, developing reports, working as team members on data warehousing projects, and interfacing with IT organizations.  Students gain an understanding of the components of a Business Intelligence solution while developing and enhancing their data management and analysis skills.

This certificate program includes three BI courses covering Multi Dimensional Analysis, Data Warehousing, and Data Mining. Students will work with Microsoft SQL Server 2005 and Microsoft’s Business Intelligence Development Studio as they develop solutions for “real world” problems.

Students may use the computer labs on campus or they may obtain the software free of charge from the Bellevue College Library Media Center (in which case it is the student’s responsibility to install and maintain the software).
