Globally, businesses have seen an explosion of data resulting in exponential growth. The need for qualified, strategic analysts has never been higher.
When companies make critical business choices, they often rely on analysts to extract value from data to inform strategic marketing and operational decisions. In essence, analysts give data power.
UCLA Anderson, a top-ranked business school, has designed the MSBA program so that graduates will be technically fluent, relevantly experienced and fully prepared to lead in the field of business analytics.​
UCLA Anderson’s MSBA program seeks holistic candidates with refined technical skills and strong communications skills in equal measure. Put another way, the equation looks like this:​ IQ + EQ + programming skills + ethics + humility + confidence + optimism = the ideal UCLA Anderson MSBA candidate​
