William & Mary's MSBA program is one of the few in the country that forms expert analysts and data scientists but do so all in the context of business. We set our students up for immediate success before they even reach orientation by laying down the required foundational knowledge during eight flexible and affordable prerequisite courses. This formula allows our students to dive deeply into the curriculum at an intermediate level and perform advanced analytic work through multiple classes in Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence, Big Data and more.
In just two semesters, you will complete an accelerated plan of study where business context is taught first, followed by a critical look at technical analytic applications, and culminating with a capstone project where real business problems will be analyzed and solved. Interwoven in each course are assignments which require you to analyze data and present it using common modalities used in business.
You will emerge from our program with the requisite analytic skills to work with big data sets and to solve complex problems from multiple perspectives, and with the ability to effectively communicate data insights in a comprehensive and succinct manner.
The Master of Science in Business Analytics program is designed for individuals who want to delve into the art and science of deriving insights from data, within the context of business. We are looking for candidates who have strong quantitative skills, are intellectually curious, and can effectively communicate and work collaboratively in a fast-paced environment.
Prerequisites
The William & Mary advantage is that 1/3 of our program teaches advanced skills in Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence. We've structured the MSBA curriculum so that students begin coursework at the intermediate level. This requires students to have a solid foundation by completing the following prerequisites prior to matriculating:
Probability and Statistics
Linear Algebra
Python Programming
R Programming
Business Foundation Courses
GRE/GMAT Score Reports are required for all international candidates. You may submit an unofficial GRE or GMAT score report to the Office of MSBA Admissions by email (MSBA@wm.edu) or via your application to expedite the processing of your application. However, if required, official test scores must be received prior to admission approval.
Applicants who have not completed a degree within the United States or who have not earned a university degree in an English-speaking country (not simply an English-speaking institution), or who have not lived and worked full-time in an English-speaking country for the past four years must submit scores from the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL), or the International English Language Testing System (IELTS). We expect international applicants to obtain a score of 100 or higher (internet-based) on the TOEFL and a 7 on the IELTS. Our Institution Code for TOEFL is B308. Please have the scores sent to the office of MSBA Admissions. Please submit official test score reports. We do not accept copies.
