Advice needed (Business Analytics)

Submitted by Joe Clark

Hello,
 
I am currently in a dilemma whether to take up the new Business Analytics course (NUS's SoC) as I feel that it seems like a promising degree with the hype on big data and its versatility in various industries (Finance, IT, healthcare etc). However, I am afraid that the hype on big data is short term and would eventually die down. 
Or should I take the safer option and enrol in Business (NTU, NBS) and choose my specialization on Business Analytics on my 2nd year? A business degree from NBS sounds like a safer bet as compared to the relatively new Business Analytics course at NUS. However, NUS’s BA modules has more computing modules which should better prepare me for a job working with large data. I checked many resourses and [Business Analytics Video](http://blog.advids.co/20-video-examples-from-business-analytics-solution-and-platforms/) for help but did not find much.The 2 routes have their cons and pros which puts me in a dilemma on what to choose.Please help me out.
 
Any help will be appreciated.
Thank you.
