Unique Analytics Capstone Project Model
Ideas Made to Matter—that’s what Sloan cares about, and it’s what we embody in the MBAn program. Our students represent the top potential in the analytics field, and we make sure that their ideas and their solutions have meaningful impact for our business partners.
A highlight of the Master of Business Analytics curriculum is the 24-unit, required Analytics Capstone Project, which gives students an opportunity to work on real-life data science problems with industry practitioners.
