The M.S. in Business Analytics, offered collaboratively by the McIntire School of Commerce and the Darden School of Business, prepares business professionals with strong analytical skills, enterprise-wide business knowledge, and problem-solving expertise to utilize data in order to make informed decisions that support an organization's objectives. The program uses quantitative analysis techniques and evidence-based case study instruction to prepare graduates to solve business problems, support decision-making and strategy, and communicate complex analyses to executives. The curriculum will be highly integrated and delivered in a modular format. Each module will provide students with hands-on experience using state-of-the art analytical tools and techniques; the opportunity to tackle practical business problems grounded in data; and the business and communication acumen necessary to translate data-driven insights into actionable managerial recommendations.
