M.B.An Business Analytics,
at Penn State University

The Master’s in Business Analytics program focuses on developing the business analytics skills of professionals entering and engaged in business, non-business, and STEM career fields. Advances in technology have greatly enhanced the ability of organizations to capture large sets of structured and unstructured data; however, society’s ability to organize, prepare, analyze, and exploit such data has not kept pace with these developments. Companies, governments, and nongovernmental organizations now seek qualified employees who can apply mathematics, statistics, computer science, and operations research techniques to small and large data sets to develop insights that will enhance business decision-making capabilities.
