Offered in two flexible formats—full-time, in-person in Washington, D.C., or part-time, online —the MSBA allows you to learn the same curriculum in a format that meets your individual needs. Additionally, students who begin the full-time program have the flexibility to transition to the online program if their plans change.*
Drive Value-Based Decisions
Get the training you need in advanced business analytics to become a data translator with the technical abilities, business knowledge, and soft skills to thrive in the analyst role of your choice.
In Georgetown’s MSBA, you’ll study under renowned faculty who train value-based leaders on how to be key in their sector or team function with a blend of knowledge from business and technical coursework. Study marketing, finance, and leadership alongside programming, natural language processing, machine learning, and more. Gain the ability to run and understand code, and know how the predictive modeling and aspects of machine learning used in AI systems work.
By graduation, you can structure problems, obtain and manage data, apply analytical tools and methods, and generate insights that enhance business value.
*Transition requests require approval. Students on a student visa are not eligible to switch from in-person to online modality.
