Master of Science in Business Analytics

The Master of Science in Business Analytics program at SUU trains students to use data, statistical analysis, and mathematical models to solve business problems, improve business processes, and make better business decisions. The program aims to achieve the optimal balance between technical expertise and real-world applications, to produce graduates who can apply appropriate methodologies in practical ways. In addition, the program provides a well-rounded education by giving students experience with both Data Analytics—the science of transforming data into insights—and Operations Research—the application of quantitative methods to problems involving complex systems. By acquiring a strong foundation in these areas, our graduates are prepared to make a significant impact on organizational performance.
