A Note from the Program

The Master of Science in Business Analytics (MSBA) at the University of South Carolina Darla Moore School of Business is a STEM-designated, 30-credit hour program that provides students with the knowledge and competencies related to data acquisition, data crunching and the utilization of large streams of data for the identification, formulation, analysis and solution of statistical and mathematical models, as well as interpreting the results for use in data-driven decision making. Undergraduates from all majors and disciplines are encouraged to apply. Preference will be given to STEM majors or applicants with strong quantitative backgrounds as well as students who have a minor in business. Applicants are also expected to have at least one semester of calculus or similar quantitative training.

Combination Degrees involving Business Analytics

Through special arrangement, the University offers combination degree programs in certain areas to permit a student to work on two degrees concurrently by combining credits, resulting in the student taking fewer courses than the total required if each degree were pursued independently.
