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.

The concentrations are applicable only to students in the RBS undergraduate New Brunswick program whose major is not BAIT. Such students are advised to select one of the two concentrations; selecting both concentrations requires six additional courses, in which case it is recommended that the student take one further course and thus qualify for a major or double-major in BAIT. Also note that if both concentrations are taken, Data Mining for Business Intelligence (33:136:494) cannot be double counted.

Note: Students interested in this concentration must contact the RBS-NB Undergraduate Programs Office to enroll in the courses.

*You may not declare a Business Analytics concentration if you have a Business Analytics and Information Technology major.

**Please note that you cannot double count or overlap ANY courses between RBS majors and RBS certificates. All certificate courses must be on top of any courses required for a given RBS major. DEGREE NAVIGATOR WILL NOT REMOVE THE "DOUBLE-COUNTING" COURSES, SO STUDENTS WILL NEED TO MONITOR THIS ON THEIR OWN.***
