Big Data has become big business. And, as the field of business analytics grows, so does the demand for qualified professionals with deep analytical experience. The Master of Science in Business Analytics (MSBA) continues Bentley’s long tradition of training analytics professionals at the graduate level, providing the valuable tools needed to succeed in this emerging field.

Technology does the number-crunching. Accountants provide the wide-ranging analysis, insight, and expertise that makes those numbers useful.
