A Master of Science in Business Analytics from a Big Ten institution packs a punch on a resume. Employers know its quality and what it says about you and the value you bring to an organization. Fuel your career through the purposeful curriculum in the online M.S. in Business Analytics at Nebraska. You'll further develop your critical thinking skills and learn how to analyze data in order to solve business problems. The methods and tools introduced in courses designed by expert faculty apply to any industry. The path to your next promotion starts with learning how to manage and analyze data.

I started with Nebraska's business analytics graduate certificate because the upfront commitment of hours was not as extensive and I could still roll all of the courses into the full master's if I continued. I was able to immediately apply and try out models, processes and concepts learned in class at work. I have been promoted several times throughout my time pursuing the certificate and master's in business analytics. I credit the program for equipping me on how to generate new analytical concepts and processes at work.
