University of Montana School of Business Administration Deans Report 2015-16

In my 30th and final year as Dean, I am excited to report
two of many new developments that you will read about
in this year’s Dean’s Report. In the May meeting of the
Montana Board of Regents, we expect approval of a
new Master Degree program in Business Analytics. Five
years ago, the faculty within the school of business led
the campus in a movement to develop a certificate in
Big Data. Other principle partners in this new program
were Computer Science and Mathematics. The Big
Data Certificate has become so popular for many
students across the campus that the next logical step
for us was to develop a master program in business
analytics. This is one of many examples where our
faculty sense emerging trends that present exciting
career opportunities for, not only our students, but other
students across the campus.
