Graduate Certificate in Business Analytics

The Graduate Certificate in Business Analytics at Lambton College's Ottawa campus is a two-year post-graduate certificate that gives you an applied, career-focused education in this field.

This graduate certificate turns data into business advantage — statistics, data analytics, visualisation, machine learning fundamentals, databases and business strategy — through applied, project-based study, with a co-op option. Analytics skills are in strong demand across every sector. Graduates work as business and data analysts, analytics consultants and BI professionals, helping organisations make smarter, evidence-based decisions.

Delivered at Lambton College's Ottawa campus (the Centre for Graduate Studies at Saint Paul University) — a collaboration between two public institutions, so unlike Lambton's Toronto and Mississauga partner campuses it is PGWP-capable. This program is on Lambton's official PGWP-Ready list (CIP 52.1301), so graduates may qualify for a Post-Graduation Work Permit; the final decision rests with IRCC. Confirm the live intake, as Ottawa availability is currently limited.

Graduates are well placed for roles such as Business/Data Analyst, Data Scientist and Analytics Consultant, gaining a mix of theory, applied projects and real Canadian experience in the capital's strong job market.

Beyond technical knowledge, you will build the communication, teamwork and leadership skills that transfer across careers and support long-term success in Canada and beyond.
