In order to become data analyst

1- Earn a bachelor's degree

Most employers seek data analysts with a bachelor's degree in information technology (IT) or statistics. Four-year programs in information technology may offer a concentration or minor in data management.

2- Entry Level work

Aspiring data analysts usually need some experience, acquired through entry-level jobs as statistical assistants or actuarial technicians. Many entry-level positions include informal on-the-job training with more experienced workers. An entry-level position can provide experience with analytical software like SAS or SigmaStat, financial analysis software such as PolySystems Asset Delphi, or basic spreadsheet software like Microsoft Excel

3- Master's Degree

Some employers may prefer to hire applicants with advanced degrees, so prospective data analysts may want to consider furthering their education in information analysis, management information systems (MIS), statistics, or another related field. These programs offer courses and seminars in software architecture and testing, data warehousing, HTML coding, and e-commerce. Some of these programs also require an independently researched master's thesis on a topic related to information systems or a practicum, which could contribute to an aspiring data analyst's on-the-job experience.

Good Luck!!
