Transform Data for Business With an MS in Business Analytics
Business Analytics is the process of transforming data into insights to improve business
decisions. The MS in Business Analytics focuses on developing and applying analysis
and analytics skills to fulfill significant needs in the business and marketing field.
Data understanding, data visualization, and descriptive and predictive modeling are
some of the tools used to create insights from data in the business context. Students
learn to integrate business concepts, as well as key methods and tools available for
modeling, analysis and solving challenging problems involving business and marketing
data.
The Business Analytics Degree Emphasizes Operations
The new MS in Business Analytics is intended to address the growing element of the
discipline with more emphasis on operations since it focuses upon the business operations
area of the discipline, and less on the science and math modeling of the data. An
analogy with IT is a computer science degree with specific focus on software and the
related degree of MIS with its focus on the spectrum of IT Business Systems (networks,
hardware, customer support, procurement, etc.).
