Master's in Business Data Science & Analytics

“The best part for me about this program is the variety of academic projects and internship experiences. This gave me a real-time experience before I was thrown in the pool of actual industry life. Proud to be a Spartan!”

“The imperative to analyze very large data sets has expanded from the purely academic world into the private sector. The M.S. in Business Analytics will prepare students with backgrounds in math and the sciences to productively analyze data in the business world.”

“We're in the early innings of a major transformative trend around business analytics. This trend will generate strong demand for graduates who can apply analytics to a variety of business challenges.”

“The best part of the program for me was its project-driven approach to education. The experiential projects were great opportunities to get exposure to real world scenarios ... I am also grateful to my professors for providing such wonderful support.”

“Large-scale, high resolution data sets are being created in ways never before imagined. Enormous challenges and opportunities are available for those who analyze, manage and extract useful information from the data sets.”

“After under a decade of traveling for large consulting firms and leveraging programming and database skills at a number of Fortune 50 firms, Michigan State’s business analytics program gave me the opportunity to understand how much I didn’t know about how data is really used across organizations.”

“As the volume of data collected by organizations continues to expand, there is a shortage of competent graduates who understand the needs of business and are well versed in the wide array of data analysis tools.”
