Our M.B.A. program combines a strong core curriculum with electives that let you map your own path, and we keep the program streamlined to just 40 credits. With online and in-person courses focused in Business Analytics, graduates will emerge as managers and executives whose skills are in high demand.

With a focus on an ethics-centered education, our M.B.A. starts with a core curriculum that covers accounting, economics, the behavioral and quantitative sciences, and the functional areas of business. The M.B.A. curriculum requires 40 credits of study, which includes core courses (25 credits) and electives (15 credits).
The Business Analytics program balances courses in business processes with courses in exploratory and predictive analytics.
