Business Analytics

About Program Degrees Offered and Application Requirements

The first of its kind in Canada, Schulich’s Master of Business Analytics program gives students the tools and techniques to become experts at data-driven decision-making.

With the increasing importance of business analytics, the talent to analyze and demystify Big Data is in growing demand.

The capstone of the program is a Major Research Project in which students focus on hands-on problem driven research, normally while working on a 12-week project with a company.

The Schulich Master of Business Analytics (MBAN) is a one-year full-time program designed to give you the tools and techniques to become an expert in this evolving, high-demand field. All Schulich MBAN students are awarded the much-coveted SAS™ (Statistical Analysis Software) certification upon completion of the program.

    Because the number of applicants greatly exceeds the number of positions available, meeting our minimum admission requirements is not a guarantee of admission.
    We encourage all applicants to submit complete documentation (including those submitted via MyFile - supplementary applications and referee recommendations) within two weeks of the application deadline. Review the Admissions process for timing.

    Completed Application Package means:

    1. Use York University's graduate studies online application
    2. Upload the required and supplementary documents and materials permitted for submission through MyFile. All other required documentation submitted by mail must be sent in a single package.
