MBA - Data Analytics Concentration

The Master of Business Administration degree program with a concentration


in Data Analytics is a STEM-designated program designed to assist business
professionals in advancing their careers by providing a solid foundation
of graduate-level business courses to apply insights from data in business
decisions. A major challenge in today’s business environment is how
professionally competent practitioners make the transition to managing
people and business operations without losing their professional knowledge
and expertise.
Upon completion of the program, graduates are expected to:
• Gather, interpret and analyze research to inform decision-making at
operational and strategic levels of an organization.
• Use advanced communication skills and awareness of cultural differences
in global and domestic business interactions.
• Analyze problems from a diverse perspective, propose effective solutions
and evaluate the impact of executive decisions.
• Assess and evaluate business entities taking into account cross-functional
environments as they affect ethical decision making in domestic and
global organizations.
• Integrate the knowledge of mathematics, statistics, and computer science
to collect, analyze and interpret data.

Graduates learn executive business competencies, professional leadership,


and strategic and creative thinking skills that help them ethically solve
problems that occur in the global business environment in culturally sensitive
ways.
This program allows data analysis professionals to develop both their
professional skills (concentration courses) and management skills while
learning to think strategically in a complex, cost-competitive, knowledge-
based environment.
This MBA concentration allows successful graduates to excel at both leading
and doing. In this challenging employment environment, data analysis
professionals must not only be competent in their elds, but be known as
“can-do” leaders. This combination gives our graduates that clear edge to
succeed.
