Business Analysis

The University of Pittsburgh's Joseph M.

Courses can be taken individually or as a whole. The track contributes to success of a Business Analyst and prepares individuals for the International Institute of Business Analysts’ Certified Business Analysis Professional (CBAP®) certification examination.

Our BA training is designed to meet the standards established by the IIBA®, as well as to transfer knowledge and develop skills in the BA discipline.
