Masters Certificate in Business Analysis - Calgary and Edmonton
York University's Business Analyst Certificate
"Questions are the answer." - Tony Robbins
Many of the problems associated with projects are related to eliciting and managing user requirements. The Masters Certificate in Business Analysis, from the Schulich Executive Education Centre (SEEC), equips you with the knowledge and techniques to plan, elicit, communicate, analyze, model, validate and manage user requirements through the project life cycle. The result: projects with cost savings, accurate time to market, and most importantly, solutions that meet the organization's business needs.
Flexible Certificate Completion Format
Due to feedback from past and prospective future participants, we have established a new, flexible format for completing the Masters Certificate.
- Attend all 7 core courses (15 days total). You may complete these courses in any order, in either Edmonton or Calgary. (You can also attend 1 course out of province, if required.)
