The SAS BIA Program is a way to enter the data market if you do not have any prior experience but watch out because it is the data market that I am talking about instead of the the analytics market. If you learn SAS or go for a job scope that heavily uses SAS, you won't get to do the fancy things like machine learning that everyone is so hyped up on. SAS is generally a database tool and is mainly used to do reporting work.

Nonetheless, it is still experience in the data market so it depends on how much you want it. This could be a springboard. Currently, they are having difficulty recruiting people due to the multitude of other better analytics programs springing up. Their syllabus has also not been revised since 8 years ago at the start of the program. This program used to be be good. But I think with good honours, there are other analytics programs to consider.
