Today’s businesses have access to a vast amount of information that can be utilized to improve their products and services, make their companies run more effectively, and transform their models. Business intelligence analysts, data analysts, and BI developers collect and use data to solve real-world business challenges and support informed decision-making. The Business Intelligence Master of Science degree curriculum cultivates the business intelligence, analytics, and artificial intelligence (AI) acumen necessary for data professionals to evaluate operational conditions.

Building on data extraction, transformation, and loading (ETL) knowledge, students gain advanced skills in data modeling, analytics, and decision support, enabling BI professionals to operate at a strategic level. To refine their critical thinking and communication skills, students navigate real-world business challenges through lessons in data visualization, creative reporting, and leadership development. Students acquire practical skills in creating interactive dashboards, and each course progresses students’ academic research skills and methodologies. A comprehensive capstone project is finalized and delivered in the last month of the degree.
