A confluence of world events and technological developments has led to a dramatic change in the way organizations position themselves and manage their businesses. In the global business environment, rapid data flow and the reduction of barriers to both goods and information have created a dynamic environment.
Business Systems Analysis and Design represents a growing need both in the Dayton area and nationally. Developing systems that meet business, societal and government demands requires an increasing number of individuals with expertise in systems analysis and design. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics has projected that the demand for those who specialize in systems analysis and design will grow 25 percent from 2012 to 2022.

The way businesses accomplish their work today has dramatically changed. While discipline and task-specific skills are still important, today’s business professionals must be multi-skilled and able to work within a broader organizational context and accomplish goals through teamwork.
