UM School of Business Administration to Offer Master’s Degree in Business Analytics

The School of Business Administration at the University of Montana will help meet a growing workforce need when it launches its new master’s degree in business analytics this fall.

The Master of Science degree, a joint effort between marketing and management information systems, will combine new elements with several existing programs at UM. The core curriculum will include the study of business intelligence, big data analysis, business statistics, statistical computing, data mining and management, and communicating insights based on data analysis and associated decision-making.

Program graduates will understand the fundamentals of statistics and programming with a strong foundation in business. They will be poised for successful careers working with data across multiple disciplines.

Employers are excited about this new program, which is on the Board of Regents’ May agenda for final approval.
