Straight answers.

How is this different from Data Analytics?
Data Analytics goes deeper into tools and Python. Business Analytics goes deeper into the business question: what to measure, what it means and what to recommend. Less code, more judgement.
Do I need to learn programming?
You'll learn SQL, which is closer to asking questions than to programming. There is no Python requirement.
I'm from a non-technical degree. Is that a disadvantage?
Here it's often an advantage. People who understand how a business works and can explain numbers clearly are hard to find.
Do you guarantee a job?
No, and be careful with anyone who does. We prepare you properly, review your work, practise interviews with you and introduce you where you fit. The job is yours to win.
