Fordham University, Master of Science Business Analytics

The Master of Science in Business Analytics (MSBA) is a rigorous, hands-on program that will train you in the art and science of this discipline. Encompassing the entire life cycle of the methodology behind an analytics project, the Fordham MSBA prepares students to contribute on the job from day one. An MSBA-specific board of alumni and industry advisors reviews the curriculum each year to incorporate the most contemporary methods and tools. Students will learn to put these methods into practice in the context of your specific business environment, becoming mindful of data security, governance, ethics, privacy, and the need to add value through their work. The Gabelli School MSBA is tightly tied to the industry. New York City analytics executives and firms that recruit MSBA graduates work closely with our program director to continually enhance the curriculum. It makes the program uniquely equipped to respond to changes in business and advances in technology as they happen. MSBA students often do projects for the New York City government. Paid and unpaid internships are available all over Manhattan. Right on campus, MSBA students are leaders in our Innovation Lab, applying a research lens to issues drawn directly from the business world. An active Fordham Business Analytics Society will keep the students busy and give them great conversation material for job interviews through the school’s annual March Data Crunch Madness competition, workshops, industry panels, and field trips, all developed in cooperation with the faculty. The Gabelli School MSBA program is STEM-approved, offering international students the ability to work for a longer period without immediate need of sponsorship.
