Pursuing higher education is important to advance one’s career and to gain a deeper understanding of one’s intended field of study. Though earning a Bachelor’s in Business Intelligence is enough for several entry-level jobs, earning a Master’s in Business Intelligence can take your career up a notch for favorable positions in the field (especially if your Bachelor’s degree was in a different area of study.) Taking the courses best suited for BI will help you get a richer and extensive knowledge for the field, with common courses including data mining, data warehouse, and database design. Completing certifications (SAS Visual Business Analytics Professional Certificate, Certified Business Intelligence Professional) and becoming familiar with common software (Excel, Tableau, PowerBI) on your own time can help push your career even further.
