Business analytics is the application of data science models, methods, and tools to analyze data to gain insight and make informed decisions. Fordham's Master of Science in Business Analytics (M.S.B.A.) degree program delivers students the analytics and data science skills they need to be competitive in the 21st century workplace.
The confluence of an increasingly complex world, the availability and rapid proliferation of data, and the urgent need to stay ahead of the competition makes business analytics a vital part of organizations in every industry seeking to use information to their advantage.
The growing importance of business analytics in business organizations also creates a demand for businesspeople who are trained in the technologies and methodologies of business analytics. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics projects employment of data scientists will grow 16 percent from 2018 to 2028. Individuals who possess both wide-ranging data analysis skills and a holistic view of the role that data, models, and analyses play in the business decision-making process are low in supply but greatly in demand.
Fordham University's Master of Science in Business Analytics prepares students for these exciting and lucrative career opportunities by integrating the fields of analytics techniques, data management, information technology, modeling, and statistical analysis to train students to become effective analysts and informed users of business data.
