Business Analytics Concentration (MBA)
The Master of Business Administration with concentration in Business Analytics is a program that equips students with skills in business analytics. The goal of this concentration is to develop graduates who are familiar with data analysis tools and techniques, and able to transform analytical results into actionable business insights using tools such as Python.
Students in this concentration take three elective courses in business analytics (Data Visualization, Data Security and Python Programming)to transform data into actionable business decisions and communicate the results effectively.
Graduate degree candidates must maintain a grade point average (GPA) of 3.0 ('B') or higher in the graduate program and may have only two final grades of 'C' in their coursework at the time of graduation. Any grade below 'C' (2.0) will not satisfy the graduation requirement for a graduate degree. Students may repeat courses in which they received a grade of 'C' or below. If a student repeats a course in which they received a grade of 'C' or below, the most recently earned letter grade will determine whether a degree requirement has been met. All the letter grades for all the registered courses during the graduate program will be listed on the transcript.
