Systems Analysis Diploma™

The rapid growth in the deployment of information technology solutions in business settings over the past ten years has thrust the Business Analyst into an increasingly prominent role within many organizations. The Business Analyst gathers business requirements from various areas in the organization and translates them into functional system design specifications that can be successfully executed by IT development teams. The role of the Business Analyst is often critical to increasing project success rates. The emergence of an international professional association evidences this position.
The Information Systems Business Analyst graduate certificate program at George Brown College is designed to meet the urgent need for professionals who can be the key liaison between business and information technology functions within an organization.
This intensive program is designed for IT or business professionals who aspire to enter into a business analyst role, or practicing business analysts who wish to enhance their experience with formal education. A deeper level of understanding of the business analyst role will be developed through unique learning techniques and invaluable practical experience. Participants will be engaged and supported by a team of business analyst consultants and faculty in developing critical skills and competencies in the areas of:
Problem identification
Process and workflow modelling
Communication and facilitation
Project management
Technical writing
Leadership and management
Decision-making
Documenting and analyzing user requirements.
A key characteristic that sets this graduate certificate program apart is the applied nature of the curriculum. Students will be immersed in the process of business analysis involving case histories of real-world business issues, and will be responsible for developing solutions. This unique program will be delivered one evening per week plus all day Friday and Saturday, allowing students to attend this full-time program while employed full-time. The uniqueness of this program is in creating a practicing Business Analyst versus creating someone who knows how to do it.
