The Master of Science in Business Analytics at Northeastern University’s D’Amore-McKim School of Business is designed to prepare students to lead in a business world driven by Big Data. Students study how to identify the right data to analyze; translate insights into action; and drive smarter, evidence-based decisions across organizations.
Students have an opportunity to build the skills to know what data to analyze and understand how to leverage that data for strategic decision making. Classwork provides exposure to data mining, statistical and quantitative analysis, multivariate testing, and predictive modeling. Students explore how to build sales, enhance marketing, or strengthen a company's infrastructure.
Experience-Powered Learning
Through in-class case studies and a capstone project, professors share real company data so that students apply their knowledge to actual business challenges. They gain unique perspectives as they learn from renowned experts who have led through times of rapid change. Through an optional graduate co-op or Community Impact Initiative, students translate ideas into action as they complete a project for an organization.
