The Analytics Curriculum
The MIT Sloan Master of Business Analytics (MBAn) curriculum equips you with the skills and expertise needed to excel in today’s rapidly evolving business landscape. Through a blend of rigorous academic coursework and hands-on experience, you will develop both the foundational knowledge and advanced analytics techniques necessary to drive innovation and decision-making in modern organizations. The program emphasizes practical application, including a unique capstone project, where students collaborate with industry leaders to solve real-world data challenges, preparing you to become a leader in data science and business analytics.
STEM Classification
The Master of Business Analytics Program qualifies as a STEM-designated program, allowing international students to extend their training in the U.S. by 24 months after graduating.
I chose the MBAn program because of its strong emphasis on applying advanced analytics to real-world problems. The program provides the perfect balance of technical depth in data science and opportunities to collaborate with industry leaders on impactful projects.
