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. Originally founded as a school of accounting and finance, Bentley continues to educate technically proficient accountants who enter the workforce with the critical thinking, analytical, and communication skills required in a global business environment.

In the next few years, more than 2 million new data analytics jobs will be created, boosting related employment opportunities by a staggering 45 percent. The Bentley MS in Audit Analytics (MSAA) provides the skills and experience you need to get ahead of the competition in this fast-growing, competitive Big Data job market. The high demand for accounting graduates with strong data and analytics skills is the reason why Bentley created a degree for students interested in audit firm practices such as risk management and process assurance. Students will gain skills in accounting practices and advanced expertise in accounting and auditing, using industry tools to explore data mining and predictive analytics.

Developed in collaboration with the corporate community, the Master of Finance degree at the Bentley Graduate Business School integrates mathematics, economics, accounting, and associated disciplines with the theories and applications of finance.

In this program you will research and analyze complicated fact patterns; learn to develop and implement successful tax strategies; communicate findings to tax and business professionals; and more.
