Master’s in Business Analytics

GSOM makes experiential learning a priority. In addition to gaining hands-on experience in many courses, you must complete either an internship at an external organization or a dedicated experiential learning course, in which you will work on projects that affect real change in an organization, the community, or region.

The Graduate School of Management is fortunate to be part of a small, liberal arts-based research university located in an urban environment. Your fellow MSBA students will typically be a mix of professionals with work experience, recent college graduates, and international students. This close-knit community provides a wide variety of perspectives on current global business challenges and opportunities.

Faculty research in the Graduate School of Management tackles issues that impact not only business, but also society at large, engaging locally with topics that have a global reach. Faculty members bring their findings to bear on the classroom experience, giving students the opportunity to work with real datasets from their findings.

Students, too, may engage in research with faculty, with peers, or individually. A select number of GSOM students participate in the prestigious national SAS Global Forum Competition and locally in GSOM’s Annual Analytics Poster Competition.

Clark’s MSBA program gives you a grounded approach in the fundamentals of business analytics, taking you from the basics of descriptive analytics (what happened) and diagnostic analytics (why it happened), to predictive analytics (what will happen) and prescriptive analytics (how we can make it happen). Through data, you can communicate effectively and productively with colleagues across disciplines and at every level of an organization, offering a range of opportunities to advance your career.
