Master of Science in Business Analytics

The Master of Science in Business Analytics Option III program is a stand-alone 36 semester-credit-hour program for students pursuing specialization in business analytics. Coursework is designed to include technical and quantitative methods from multiple disciplines, such as information management, statistics, optimization, and computer science, to solve business problems using large data sets. The program ends with a capstone project. The program is offered in a full-time face-to-face format as well as in a hybrid-online format. Graduate programs in the Department of Information, Risk, and Operations Management (IROM) are overseen by the IROM Graduate Studies Committee (GSC). The IROM GSC has delegated operational authority over the MSBA program to a Program Committee consisting of faculty who teach in the program from the IROM department as well as other departments. The Program Committee determines degree requirements and rules for registration which are communicated to students in a handbook. All courses required for program completion are offered in accordance with University policies that govern non-formula-funded (Option III) programs.
