Master of Science in Business Analytics

The University of Denver’s Daniels College of Business Master of Science in Business Analytics program focuses on the three pillars of business analytics:  data management, analytic modeling, and business decision-making.  Graduates will be able to bring value to their organizations by informing data-driven decisions.  As part of the program, students consult for our partner organizations (corporate, government, and non-profit) to help them with their data-driven challenges.  Through partnerships with IBM/SPSS, Tableau, Microsoft, and other leading technology vendors, Daniels is able to provide the most relevant analytic tools in our classrooms.  This gives students an edge in solving complex problems and keeps them on the leading edge of business analytics.  This is a STEM designated degree and is a 12–36-month, full or part-time. This degree is 54-58 credits. Students with an undergraduate business degree can waive INFO 4000 and complete the degree in 54 credits. 

Daniels has been continuously accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business International (AACSB) since 1923.
