The curriculum, vetted by Duke University faculty, moves beyond standard reporting to integrate GenAI-powered SQL, Microsoft Power BI, and Agile frameworks. Students participate in five live masterclasses and an Agentic AI workshop, gaining 36 PDs/CDUs aligned with BABOK v3 standards. This structure reflects a shift in market demand, where analysts are increasingly expected to leverage automation to accelerate decision-making processes.
Simplilearn and Duke University Launch AI-Focused Business Analysis Course
With the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics projecting the creation of 98,100 management analyst jobs by 2034, Simplilearn and Duke University have partnered to launch a 20-week professional certificate. The program aims to transition traditional business analysis roles into AI-driven, data-centric positions through intensive faculty-led training.

By focusing on real-world projects and an Agentic AI capstone, the program targets both early-career professionals and those transitioning from operations or marketing backgrounds. Upon completion, graduates receive a joint certificate from Duke University and Simplilearn, validating their ability to navigate the intersection of strategic thinking and modern AI workflows.
