What does a business analyst do? What course do you take to become a business analyst?

May 17, 2007 by Wayne R. | Posted in Higher Education (University +)

I came across a graph showing the avarage salaries of business analysts in IT/Computer software/Computer hardware. I do not know what a business analyst does exactly. What course should I take in college to become a business analyst.
Currently I'm planing on getting a lengths in Business with IT in college, will that enable me to become a business analyst?

Yes, the courses you enunciate of will help you to become a Business Analyst.

A BA can be on the client side or the IT side. If on the client side, they are interfacing with work group domains that process the work and reassess what they need. They generate requirements and then work with the IT side to update or generate processes and applications to fullfil the business needs.

If you're a BA on the IT side of the dynasty, then you're taking all the requirements and developing processes and application solutions. Your job is to work with the client to generate a business solutions detail (there are many names for it) and get signoff. Then, you need to make sure that solution becomes reality by working with systems analysts, programmers, and testers. You're non-specifically responsible for the delivery of the solution. Although, if the solution revolves around process changes with other work group domains, you normally employment with a PM (Project Manager). Never the less, you have end to end responsibilities for the IT delivery to insure the client gets what they need (and paying for).

With the offshoring of drudgery to cheap labor, to remain associated with software development, the BA role is a good profession.
