Business analytics plays a vital role in modern organizations. With increasing emphasis on connecting data to strategic choices, demand for professionals who can gather and analyze this information keeps rising. The Master of Science in Business Analytics equips students with the expertise to collect, manage, evaluate, interpret, and apply data for making better business decisions. This program centers on using mathematical and statistical approaches to address business challenges. Participants will master techniques for gathering and structuring data, choosing appropriate economic models to frame their analysis, and employing statistical methods to generate visual and tabular outputs that effectively convey insights to decision-makers. Designed as an intensive one-year, in-person curriculum, the program follows a structured cohort model with nine mandatory courses. The initial semester focuses on building software skills, mathematical foundations, and data visualization techniques. The second semester covers economic modeling, data processing methods, and includes an intensive six-credit data analytics course. The program culminates with a comprehensive capstone project where students conduct independent research from conception to implementation.
