Do I have to take any math classes?

You may need to take some general education courses in mathematics. If you have completed prior mathematics gen eds, you may be able to transfer credits and fulfill that requirement in the curriculum.

Our core business analytics coursework does not contain any advanced math courses. Your analytical capabilities aren’t necessarily tied to your ability to perform advanced mathematical calculations.

Our undergraduate Business Statistics course does cover measurements like mean/median/mode, standard deviation, and variance. However, you won’t regularly encounter any types of math you may remember from high school or another college course, such as algebra, trigonometry, or calculus.

How much can you make with a degree in business analytics?

Potential salary in the field can vary significantly given the relevance of a business analytics curriculum to many different types of jobs. 

We’ve designed our curriculum to align with these occupational categories as defined by the Bureau of Labor Statistics:* 

  • Data scientists (source): $108,660 average salary per year ($52.24 per hour)
  • Management analysts (source): $114,710 average salary per year ($55.15 per hour)
  • Market research analysts (source): $76,080 average salary per year ($36.58 per hour)

Please keep in mind these do not represent entry-level salary estimates. Pay can vary by location, education level, years of experience, and specific job duties. Average salaries are typically higher than median figures, indicating the largest group earns below average—but also indicates excellent earning potential should you achieve excellence as a business analyst.

Radiologist vs. radiology tech: what's the difference?

While radiologic technologist and radiologist sound like similar careers, they are actually quite different. A radiologist is a doctor who interprets medical images, such as X-rays and MRIs, diagnoses patients and recommends treatment. A radiologic technologist is typically supervised by a radiologist and supports the doctor and other members of the healthcare team by performing the diagnostic imaging procedures.

Radiologists must also attend medical school. Radiologic technologists, on the other hand, can begin their career after completing a two-year associate degree program in radiologic technology. With additional experience and education, they can go on to specialize in areas like mammography, MRI or cardiovascular imaging.

A career as a radiologic technologist is an excellent choice for anyone who wants to help others, has a passion for working with technology and is interested in joining the healthcare field quickly. In fact, U.S News and World Report rank radiologic technologist as #31 in Best Health Care Jobs for 2025.
