Delivered by the highly ranked W. P. Carey departments of Information Systems and Supply Chain Management, the STEM-designated MS program in business analytics builds on the quantitative skills and knowledge needed to advance on the analytics career ladder.

Data is becoming vital to today's world, making business analytics specialists one of the most valuable careers. Students learn to extract value from data, lead data-driven projects and create an overall impact within business organizations. Students can choose from five specializations to deepen their focus in one specific area: big data, cloud computing and tech consulting, fintech, marketing analytics or supply chain analytics.

Two formats are available for the master's degree program. The first pathway is the full-time program --- designed for individuals who want to immerse themselves in full-time graduate studies --- which is a nine-month or 16-month program, depending on the specialization track chosen. The second is the online delivery option in which students deepen their skills in business analytics and learn more about evolving topics in this field. This option is designed for busy working professionals seeking to continue working full-time while attending school.
