Return to: Joseph M. Katz Graduate School of Business
The STEM-designated MBA with Business Analytics major was designed to meet the demands of graduate business students who seek broad business knowledge as well as an in-depth specialization in business analytics afforded by the curriculum included in the Graduate Certificate in Business Analytics. The students will complete the required courses for both the MBA and Graduate Certificate in Business Analytics, with sufficient elective credits remaining to elect to complete a Micro-Credential (9 stackable credits), a Graduate Certificate (15 stackable credits) or select electives to individualize their studies.
This program is closed to new applicants as of Fall 2026. Enrolled students may complete all degree requirements as planned. Students who wish to pursue analytics alongside a master’s degree are encouraged to explore our dual degree programs with the MS in Analytics and Applications of AI for Business.
