Master of Science in Business Analytics

The USC Marshall MSBA program is a data science STEM program with a business lens. It is one of the longest-running MSBA programs in the nation and has consistently been ranked among the world’s top programs. The program emphasizes project-based learning in the classroom, so our students acquire deeper business analytics knowledge through active exploration of real-world business challenges and problems. These projects are in collaboration with our industry partners and cover a range of business areas including finance, operations, marketing, management, supply chain, and HR.

Application to the traditional, residential (campus-based) program is open to all candidates regardless of location. In addition, beginning with the incoming class of Fall 2022, candidates who currently reside in the state of California will be eligible to apply for admission to our online MSBA degree cohort. With the same curriculum and faculty as the residential program, the online cohort will gain the same knowledge and skills without relocating or giving up job opportunities.
