Technology now touches every part of our lives. The amount of data available in the business world and financial markets is exploding. Businesses, governments, consumers, investors, policymakers, and others face major challenges and opportunities to adapt to the results of the fast-moving flow of information. The UCLA Anderson Master of Science in Business Analytics is a 15-month on-campus program that will give you the tools to become a leader in this rapidly evolving and in-demand field.
The data revolution has given birth to entirely new fields in academics. In particular, new paradigms are being developed to manage, capture, describe, and analyze the flow of data and to extract useful and targeted information that can be used to make informed business decisions. One of the most important areas in which these paradigms are having an important impact is in business data analytics or business analytics for short. Specifically, business analytics is applying statistical, computational, quantitative, econometric, and management tools to the informational flows to address business needs.
