Launched in 2013, the GW School of Business MS in Business Analytics (MSBA) program equips students with practical analytics and consulting expertise for data-informed decision making. From the beginning, the program has partnered with top analytics firms like IBM and Deloitte to create and continually refine a comprehensive curriculum covering technical, quantitative, and qualitative competencies needed to develop, implement, and present business analytics solutions effectively.

The coursework uniquely combines analytics methodologies (descriptive, predictive, and prescriptive), specialized applications (electives focusing on analytics in specific industries or business functions), professional skills (consulting, teamwork, and communication), and technical tools (including SAS, R, Python, SQL, no-SQL, and emerging technologies). Students complete their studies with a hands-on practicum, collaborating in teams to tackle actual business problems presented by our industry partners.

Through its Advisory Group featuring prominent organizations like IBM, Deloitte, SAS, Accenture, MITRE, and Attain, the program maintains strong industry ties that support curriculum development, guide student practicums, and offer valuable career networking and advancement opportunities.
