North Dakota State University's (NDSU) Master of Science in Business Analytics (MSBA) is a professional, non-thesis program tailored for students from diverse academic backgrounds, though it especially appeals to those with bachelor's degrees in business, computer science, engineering, or statistics. This curriculum equips students with advanced practical problem-solving abilities and comprehensive knowledge of business analytics techniques and technologies. Participants gain direct experience using cutting-edge tools for data management, predictive modeling, visualization, and data exploration.
NDSU's business analytics instructors employ multiple teaching approaches such as case analyses, collaborative and individual assignments, software applications, student presentations, and interactive discussions. Numerous courses are conducted in Barry Hall's computer laboratories. A key component involves a capstone project where students collaborate with regional businesses to examine authentic datasets and address practical challenges through data analysis. Recognized as a STEM program, this curriculum highlights the technical aspects of modern data analytics methodologies.

Qualification Requirements
In addition to the Graduate School application requirements, the GMAT/GRE is required. Individuals seeking admission to the MSBA program may request a waiver of the GMAT/GRE requirement if they meet one of the following requirements:
The applicant holds a terminal degree (e.g., Ph.D., M.D., J.D.).
The applicant has a minimum of five (5) years of recent, post-bachelor's, full-time, professional work experience that is relevant to business analytics and data science.
Appropriate documentation (i.e. official transcript, Statement of Purpose, resume) is required to be uploaded to the application file. It does not, however, guarantee a waiver. Applicants should request the waiver in their Statement of Purpose and provide the rationale for the waiver request. Applicants are reviewed on a case-by-case basis, and waiver approval is determined at the discretion of the MSBA program coordinator.
TOEFL: 71 (internet-based) or 525 (paper-based)
IELTS: 6.0 (academic version)
At the baccalaureate level, the applicant must have earned a cumulative grade point average (GPA) of at least 3.0, or equivalent, to attain full standing in a graduate degree program. Applicants whose last degree completed is a graduate degree may be admitted in full standing if the final GPA of that degree is at least 3.0 or equivalent.
