What is Business Analytics?

Business analytics is a subcategory of business intelligence in which data mining, predictive analytics, and statistical analysis are applied in order to analyze and transform data into useful information; to identify and anticipate trends and outcomes; and to ultimately make smarter, data-driven business decisions.

Unlike the generalist MBA degree, in which fundamental management knowledge is imparted, the MSBA degree is a more technologically focused program designed to meet the evolving needs of modern, data-rich business environments.
