DAC Tracks

DAC is organized as three tracks, each designed to meet the learning and certification needs of particular roles and responsibilities.
  • The Business Analysis track is designed for business professionals who need to analyze data—managers, knowledge workers, and business and data analysts.
  • The Data Analytics track is suited to information management professionals with responsibility for BI and performance management systems.
  • The Advanced Analytics track is designed for those with data mining and data science roles and responsibilities.

To meet DAC academic requirements in a track you must complete two required courses (R), plus two elective courses, and pass the corresponding exams.
