Master of Science in Business Analytics
This program focuses on using quantitative approaches to help improve decision making and performance in business.
To better understand business situations, students focus on collecting and analyzing data, drawing on computer technology, statistics, applied mathematics, and machine learning techniques. The program covers database concepts, data visualization tools and techniques, statistical modeling, machine learning, optimization, and their applications in business disciplines such as accounting, operations, finance, human resources, insurance, management, and marketing.
Domestic students can choose to complete this degree fully online*, in-person, or in a hybrid format. To maintain F-1 or J-1 student status, international students are required to take a minimum of 9 credits (units) of in-person classes every fall and spring semester.
* If you live outside of California, see if Sacramento State has secured authorization or exemption to enroll students from your state in its online programs.
The MSBA Program is a collaboration between Sacramento State’s College of Continuing Education and College of Business.
Financial Aid
Financial Aid via loans may be available for domestic students pursuing the MSBA degree. The MSBA program does not offer any scholarships, grants or graduate assistantships.
Financial Aid is processed through the College of Continuing Education (CCE) and may be available for students pursuing the online MSBA degree. We recommend starting the financial aid process as early as possible by completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). More information can be found on CCE’s Financial Aid page.
