Business Analytics Concentration

In addition to its Business Analytics and Information Technology (BAIT) Major, the Management Science & Information Systems (MSIS) department offers two three-course concentrations: Business Analytics and Management Information Systems. The intention of these concentrations is to allow students not majoring in BAIT to add a field of secondary expertise to their transcripts, complementing their major area of study, without having to take the full complement of seven extra courses required to double-major in BAIT. 

Notes:  

  • Students interested in this concentration must submit a concentration declaration form before enrolling in concentration courses.  
  • Students pursuing this concentration are required to complete 33:136:386 Business Operations Analytics since it is a prerequisite for concentration courses. 
  • You may not declare a Business Analytics concentration if you have a Business Analytics and Information Technology major. 
  • Courses may not be double-counted between RBS majors and RBS concentrations. All concentration courses must be completed in addition to the courses required for an RBS major. Please note: Degree Navigator does not identify or remove courses that are double-counted. Students are responsible for ensuring that concentration courses do not overlap with the major requirements. 
  • Upon graduation, successful completion of the concentration will be recorded on the student’s final transcript as a certificate. The concentration will not appear on the transcript prior to graduation.
