The “information age” has evolved into an era of “big data.” To succeed, Bentley graduates will need interdisciplinary skills sets (notably processes and systems) that will allow them to extract insights from multiple forms of data. Students with majors such as Finance, Corporate Finance and Accounting, Business Economics, Actuarial Science, and others will benefit from the addition of this minor to their Bentley program of study. It will provide an opportunity for them to learn how to manage big data, ensure consistency, create visualizations to aid in understanding, and communicate their results.
For further information about policies related to minors, see the Program Policies page.
