MS Business Analytics
The STEM master of science in business analytics (MSBA) is an accelerated, 1-year program with a team-based structure that creates a rich and diverse learning environment. Students work both in teams and independently to complete the coursework.
The MSBA curriculum combines information systems technologies, data modeling, and analytics with business acumen and impactful communications to develop the skills necessary to become a successful business analyst with excellent potential for professional growth. The program is designed and delivered in collaboration with local businesses to provide a realistic business orientation, increasing your skill relevance in the professional marketplace.
All classes are taught by PhD–level faculty who are extensively published and experienced in relevant areas. Faculty consult with local companies to develop realistic, demanding analytics projects that prepare students to excel in the workplace.
All students admitted into the MSBA program are required to finish one self-paced, online prep course (Statistics Prep) before the program’s official start. Statistics Prep is designed for students without any prior exposure to the subject, and the ideal pace of study is five weeks. Students who have previous exposure to the content (for example, programming experience in any language or an undergraduate statistics course) may expect to finish the courses in less time.
