* The Department*


Analytics is the transformation of data into insight for better decision

As the process for transforming data into insight is inherently
multi-disciplinary, Business Analytics lies at the intersection of Computer
Science, Statistics, Machine Learning, Big Data, Applied Mathematics
(particularly Optimization), Operations, and Business.

The Department of Business Analytics
<https://tippie.uiowa.edu/business-analytics> in the Tippie College of
Business has been at the forefront of research in Analytics for decades
and, as the recipient of the 2021 INFORMS UPS George D. Smith Prize
<https://tippie.uiowa.edu/news/tippie-analytics-wins-major-international-analytics-award>,
was recently honored as a top department in the world for preparing
students for careers in analytics.

The department has particular research strengths in predictive analytics in
the areas of health care, social issues, text, and social media, and
faculty members have developed key methodologies in data mining,
social-network analysis and mathematical optimization.  The department is
also internationally known for work in supply-chain design and
transportation.

The Department of Business Analytics offers a BBA in Business Analytics and
Information Systems, an MS in Business Analytics (both part-time and
full-time programs), as well as a PhD degree.  Through its Tippie Analytics
Cooperative, the Department is actively engaged with local, national, and
Fortune 500 companies to continually enhance and improve student learning.
The Department also hosts an annual international Analytics Case
Competition and Women in Analytics and Leadership Conference.
