Transform Companies with Value-Based Analytics

A company’s ability to craft, access, and use data provides them remarkable insights and advantages. While organizations across industries have realized the competitive edge and efficiencies gained in using big data, they also have realized the number of leaders who can manage it correctly is in short supply. The Bureau of Labor Statistics projects a growth rate of nearly 28% of the number of jobs requiring data science skills by 2026. Companies find themselves in desperate need of leaders who understand how to effectively use large data sets guided by ethical considerations to make key decisions and create strategies for a positive, economic, social, and environmental impact. 

The combination of business knowledge, applied data analytics skills, ethical training from excellent faculty, and the strong network presented in the Georgetown MSBA ensure you are ready to lead value-based, data-driven strategies in the sector of your choice. Georgetown’s MSBA can propel you to the career you want in the role you desire. You will graduate from a world-class institution with the education and connections necessary to accelerate your career and to create, share, and sustain value for your organization and community.

“Employers seek individuals who can effectively handle data and grasp business concepts. The Georgetown MSBA program equips students with technical proficiency and business applications, along with essential interpersonal skills necessary for excelling in leadership positions that demand analytics knowledge.”

Babak Zafari, MSBA Academic Director

“The Georgetown MSBA program has truly been the most challenging, yet rewarding, phase of my professional development. Throughout this program, I’ve transitioned from having a fundamental grasp of statistics to confidently implementing advanced analytic techniques, which has had a major impact on my career trajectory. Building a network of accomplished and dedicated individuals also has been an invaluable aspect of this journey. The flexibility to achieve all this without the need for relocation has made me thankful I chose to enroll in this program.

“I joined the MSBA program with no prior analytical experience which was daunting, but it proved transformative. I went from not knowing Python, SQL, or R to gaining proficiency and leveraging these skills to land my dream job at American Express, where I actively apply the knowledge and skills I learned. One of the most enriching aspects of the experience has been the incredible network of individuals I’ve met and the connections I’ve formed with my cohort mates and professors.
