商業(yè)分析專業(yè)簡介

近些年，美國研究生申請商業(yè)分析 (Business Analytics) 的熱度一直居高不下, 這不僅反映了全球商業(yè)環(huán)境的快速變化，也折射出了商業(yè)分析領(lǐng)域的人才在幫助企業(yè)適應(yīng)挑戰(zhàn)、制定戰(zhàn)略決策方面的重要作用。

隨著大數(shù)據(jù)和人工智能技術(shù)的精進(jìn)，讓商業(yè)分析已經(jīng)不再局限于傳統(tǒng)的市場調(diào)研和數(shù)據(jù)統(tǒng)計，而是更加注重數(shù)據(jù)驅(qū)動的洞察和預(yù)測，變得更加多元多領(lǐng)域跨度。在這一大趨勢的影響之下，吸引了更多的本科生在選擇未來深造的領(lǐng)域時，把目光投向了商業(yè)分析。

于是，研究生申請者的學(xué)術(shù)背景變得更加多元化，不僅有來自本科商科背景的學(xué)生，還有越來越多來自工程、數(shù)學(xué)、計算機(jī)科學(xué)等不同領(lǐng)域的申請者。

商業(yè)分析專業(yè)案例

正如我們今年的Kevin同學(xué)，美國本科Major - Business Administration，Minor - Computer Information System雙重學(xué)術(shù)背景加持的他，有著過硬的計算機(jī)編程技術(shù)和敏銳的商業(yè)洞察力。

通過專業(yè)申請團(tuán)隊的老師們，抽絲剝繭，把他的學(xué)術(shù)成果和素材進(jìn)行合理的穿插使用，不僅讓他拿到了心儀學(xué)校的商業(yè)分析專業(yè)錄取，實現(xiàn)了從一個BA (Business Administration) 到另一個BA (Business Analytics)的轉(zhuǎn)型，還“順便”打通了其他領(lǐng)域的脈絡(luò)，比如：供應(yīng)鏈管理，讓他未來的就業(yè)領(lǐng)域和跨學(xué)科學(xué)習(xí)的眼界都得到了很大的拓展。

申請建議

那么，如何展示你的學(xué)術(shù)優(yōu)勢，如何凸顯你的核心競爭力，是每一位本科生面臨的必答題，也是一個專業(yè)申請團(tuán)隊的老師們需要幫助你們挖掘的素材。首先，我們先了解一下申請商業(yè)分析的文書題目。一般說來，學(xué)校會讓申請者寫一到兩篇不等字?jǐn)?shù)的文書來展示自己，這其中就包括了Statement of Purpose和Personal Statement, 有些學(xué)校只要求寫其中一篇，比如：哥倫比亞大學(xué)。但有些學(xué)校會要求兩篇都要寫，比如：東北大學(xué)。這些文書怎么寫？我們先來看看題目要求。

2023年哥倫比亞大學(xué)商業(yè)分析專業(yè)的文書題目：

(6000 characters)

審題之后不難看出，一篇Statement of Purpose通常是最重要的文書之一。它是申請者向招生官們展示自己的學(xué)術(shù)和職業(yè)背景，以及為什么選擇攻讀商業(yè)分析專業(yè)的機(jī)會。在這篇文書中，申請者應(yīng)該突出強(qiáng)調(diào)自己的學(xué)術(shù)優(yōu)勢，比如數(shù)學(xué)、統(tǒng)計、計算機(jī)科學(xué)等方面的知識和技能，這些在商業(yè)分析領(lǐng)域具有十分重要意義。而Personal Statement則更加注重申請者的個人故事和動機(jī)。

在這篇文書中，申請者可以深入闡述他們是如何對商業(yè)分析產(chǎn)生興趣的，可能是某次經(jīng)歷、一段經(jīng)歷給予的啟發(fā)。同時，也可以談?wù)撘恍﹤€人特質(zhì)，比如解決問題的能力和團(tuán)隊合作精神以及適應(yīng)變化的能力，這些都是商業(yè)分析人才所需要具備的品質(zhì)。

所以，大家面對研究生申請題目時，不要著急落筆，先跟你的申請團(tuán)隊老師進(jìn)行一個深度溝通，他們會幫你對所有的素材進(jìn)行梳理，找到其中的邏輯關(guān)聯(lián)，對你的未來規(guī)劃形成一個清晰的定位，這樣才能更好的指導(dǎo)你展示自己的“BA范兒”，還可以讓招生委員會能夠感受到你對商業(yè)分析領(lǐng)域的熱情和才華。加油吧，未來的分析師們！
