Tap into a dynamic intersection of business with KU's MBA/M.S. in business analytics dual degree program. 

You'll learn the operational, financial and managerial components of business while also developing the analytical skills needed to make sense of data — all in two years. As machine learning and artificial intelligence continue to transform industries, organizations need leaders who can bridge the gap between advanced technical skills and strategic thinking.
