With a degree in Business Analytics, you have lots of options. Your interests in sports, oceans, space, marketing, entertainment, and healthcare open even more doors. Starting roles often involve working with data to help companies make smart choices. You might start as a data analyst, business analyst, operations analyst, or marketing analyst. If you love sports, look for sports analytics internships or coordinator roles. In healthcare, check out roles like healthcare or public health data analyst. These jobs teach you how to read data, create reports, and make recommendations, which are useful skills in any field.

To find jobs beyond LinkedIn, check your university's career center for internships and entry-level positions that aren't advertised widely. Professional groups like INFORMS, the Sports Analytics Association, or data science clubs often have job boards and networking events. Visit company career pages for sports teams, conservation groups, healthcare organizations, and tech firms, as they often list analytics roles there first. Networking is important too: connect with alumni or professionals for informational chats, or offer your analytics skills to nonprofits or local groups to gain experience. The goal is to mix your analytics skills with real-world impact, since employers love candidates who can turn data into meaningful results, especially in areas you care about.
