Master of Science in Business Analytics

The MS in Business Analytics (MSBA) program is designed to prepare students with cutting-edge knowledge and skill sets that will enable them to be competitive in the rapidly growing field of business analytics. The full-time curriculum features three components that ensure students understand theory in depth and develop practical skill sets: fundamental disciplinary knowledge, technical skills, and professional skills.

Rapid advancement in information technology has created a data rich environment for organizations in all sectors. How to collect appropriate data, how to evaluate data collection methods and sources, and how to use the data to gain business insights and improve decision making have been challenging to managers.
