HERKIMER, N.Y. — Herkimer College announced it will add a new associate degree in competitive analytics next fall and is now accepting admission applications for the program. The program is designed to teach the skills necessary to analyze company data to achieve competitive advantage with coursework covering the breadth of business operations, the role and strategic value of information, and the analytic skills needed to perform a variety of required applications. The field is growing quickly with need in industries including finance, health care, and aerospace. “Business data is growing exponentially and so is the need to translate that data into actionable information that can be analyzed to support business strategy fulfillment and day-to-day business decisions,” Herkimer College Provost Michael Oriolo said in a statement. “Herkimer’s new competitive analytics program will provide the tools and techniques to translate data into information required to achieve competitive advantage.” The program includes a capstone course where students will participate in an experiential project with internal and external business partners. This program can be taken online but some components require on-campus participation. More information about the program is available at www.herkimer.edu/competitive-analytics.
