Curriculum Details

30 total credits required

Ohio University's online Master of Business Analytics (MBAn) features a curriculum grounded in the fundamentals of analytics. We frame our coursework to focus on business intelligence and how modern organizations use analytics to drive strategy. As a student, you will develop in-demand technical competencies while gaining a deep understanding of the data systems that power today's businesses and how those systems create value.

Because a previous technical background is not required, our comprehensive course progression is designed to help you build foundational knowledge early in your program through a practice-based curriculum that emphasizes practical application. As you progress through the program, you'll gain additional skills through advanced learning opportunities. For example, you will begin your program using software that may be familiar to you (Excel) and progress to more sophisticated analytics tools (Tableau, Alteryx) and programming languages (SQL, R and Python) later.

In your final semester, you will partner with OHIO MBA students to solve a simulated business problem and apply many of the concepts learned throughout the program. You will also attend a required on-campus Leadership Development Conference to connect with fellow students, program faculty and OHIO alumni. This in-person event features guest speakers, panel discussions and workshops specific to MBAn students.
