Options for Existing Students in the Certificate in Business Analysis
In order to maintain program relevancy and to respond to changes in the fields of study or in legislation, it is sometimes necessary to implement revisions to our programs. Our current 240-hour Certificate in Business Analysis is being phased out, and will be replaced with our new 120-hour Business Analysis Certificate.
The current Certificate in Business Analysis will be discontinued as of December 31, 2024.
In these circumstances, we make every effort to provide our students with an opportunity to complete their current program or provide a smooth transfer into the new program.
