The Haslam College of Business? Master of Science in Business Analytics develops a student?s technical acumen in deriving insights from large data sets as well as business fundamentals and soft skills like leadership, team work and presentations. Our students graduate with both the ability to communicate the data relevant to the problem at hand and how it can be leveraged to benefit the organization. ?
Students develop technical and soft skills through coursework throughout the degree. In their final semester, they work in teams using real data to solve a real problem for one of our industry partners in their capstone project. Students communicate with company executives throughout the project, presenting their findings at the end of the semester.
The Haslam MSBA is comprised of three semesters requiring 12 to 18 hours each. For a full description of the content in required courses see the?graduate course catalog. Students can also pursue a dual degree, gaining an MSBA and MBA in two years. See the tabs below for curriculum outlines.

The Form I-20 or DS-2019 is required for a student to apply for the F-1 or J-1 visa stamp at a U.S. embassy or consulate abroad and to request admission into the U.S.
These forms are issued through the U.S. government’s SEVIS database (Student and Exchange Visitor Information System) and are created by ISSS for study at UNC-CH once a student has been admitted and submitted all other required documents. The Form I-20 or DS-2019 along with the I-94, are the documents that indicate an individual has been lawfully admitted into the U.S. or has been approved for a change of status within the U.S. They document the amount of time it normally takes to complete the course of study to which they have been admitted. Students who have not completed their course of study by the date indicated on Form I-20 or DS-2019 must apply for an extension prior to the current date of expiration. Form I-20 and DS-2019 also indicate a student’s level and field of study so if any of this information changes the form must be amended.
