Master of Information Systems: Innovative organizations place high value on cross-disciplinary leaders, and we've positioned our curriculum to meet that demand. When information technology expertise is blended with traditional business disciplines, our graduates can 'pull it all together' to make timely, informed decisions for their employers. Master of Applied Business Analytics: Employers face a vast shortage of deep analytical talent, as well as managers qualified to make data-informed decisions. Move beyond conventional methods of data discovery. Summarize and present data in ways that can be understood and acted upon. Master of Healthcare Business Analytics: Healthcare is a trillion-dollar industry, generating an explosion of complex data. From insurance companies to hospitals and pharmaceuticals, the ability to harness large amounts of complex data and make informed business decisions is a highly sought-after skill. The Robert L.
