(Ross School)
The Ross School of Business is getting on the data analytics train. The school announced recently that it will offer a new MBA concentration focused on business data and analytics beginning in the fall 2018 semester. The concentration, says Brad Killaly, associate dean of full-time and global MBA programs, is designed for MBA students looking to hone their analytical skills to develop data-driven business strategies and recommendations.
“We’ve developed the Data and Business Analytics Concentration to meet the needs of today’s MBA student as well as today’s evolving business world,” Killaly said. “As students continue to seek careers in data-intensive industries, such as consulting and technology, Michigan Ross will offer the necessary business acumen that students can utilize to give themselves a competitive edge.”
The new concentration is the first to launch under Killaly’s leadership. Ross began developing the concentration in 2017 after receiving feedback from students who desired a more specialized concentration focused on big data.
