Overview
This program leads to a Master of Business Analytics (MBAN) at the Schulich School of Business on the Keele Campus, delivered full-time and in person over 12 months with a single annual intake in the summer (May), structured across three 12-week terms totalling 45 credits. Coursework covers data science and analytics techniques from foundational to advanced levels, artificial intelligence and its business applications, database and programming skills including SQL and Python, and data visualization and communication using tools such as Tableau, alongside project management and ethics content. Students complete an Analytics Consulting Project as a two-term capstone, developing applicable business solutions on a hands-on, problem-driven basis. The program is recognized by the Vector Institute for Artificial Intelligence, with eligible students able to access Vector Institute scholarships. Applicants typically hold an undergraduate degree in a field such as mathematics, computer science, business, economics, engineering or science with at least a B+ average over their final two years, suiting professionals seeking data-driven decision-making expertise across industries such as banking, healthcare, retail and e-commerce.
