Through the curriculum and the built-in experiential learning opportunities, you will become skilled in making strategic business decisions while also becoming fluent in the full analytics spectrum: data management, data analytics and analytics-based decision making.

Students choose from four career tracks that span business disciplines, giving the depth of knowledge and breadth of skills needed to succeed in business. Our program is built around a results-focused, challenging and comprehensive curriculum that prepares students for business leadership.
