The
University of Petra was the first of all Jordanian universities to introduce
the major. The study plan was developed by selected experts in Business Intelligence
and Data Analysis, taking into account the study plans proposed by top American
and British universities, which are considered pioneering plans in the Business
Department, such as:
- Harvard
Business School
- University
of Cambridge
- Carnegie
Melon University
- Washington
State University
- New
York University
Besides
the major’s benefit that is considered a response to the lack of qualified
people in the business market, the major is characterized by an intense
theoretical and practical application of the latest developments and software
that serve Business Intelligence and Data Analysis.
In
reviewing the study plan, the major depends on areas in:
- Business
intelligence and data mining.
- Big
data and machine learning.
- Descriptive
and predictive analyzes of the data.
- Business
strategies and smart resource management.
- Design
smart agendas.
