Apr 23, 2012. New York University Stern School of Business
announced a new Master of Science in Business Analytics that will be offered in Shanghai and at the School's Washington Square campus beginning in May 2013. The MS in Business Analytics will be the first degree program to be offered at NYU's downtown Shanghai campus, effectively launching the University's granting of degrees in China. Moreover, the MS in Business Analytics is the first accredited graduate level program in Business Analytics to be offered by a leading business school. The new discipline, which stands at the intersection of business and technology, leverages the use of data as a strategic business asset and decision-making tool.
Designed for executives with at least 10 years' experience in such areas as manufacturing, technology, government, health care, energy, real estate and construction, the MS in Business Analytics will be taught in five modules spanning one year. While modular scheduling and English-language instruction will allow executives from around the globe to participate, the program is expected to appeal in particular to English-speaking Chinese executives as well as expatriates working in China. The burgeoning manufacturing sector and investment in infrastructure throughout Asia has created a tremendous demand for executives who can manage the complexities of this growth. Candidates will typically have college or equivalent degrees, with strong quantitative backgrounds.
The program will be taught at NYU Stern's Greenwich Village campus in New York and at the NYU Shanghai campus. Faculty will be drawn from NYU Stern's top-ranked Information Systems (or IOMS) and Marketing departments. Graduates will be able to harness the tools and thinking behind Business Analytics to turn vast streams of data into actionable knowledge and evidence-based decision making.
