Master of Science - Business Analytics

Informed business decisions rely on significant and current data to help executives make decisions. A master's in business analytics gives students the skills and training they need to make these choices. Because data is prolific and continual, business analytics professionals who know how to interpret and use that data are in high demand.

Without trained analysts and decision makers who know how to use analytics methods and interpret the results for business results, great opportunities are lost.
