Curriculum
Throughout the 11 courses in the online MBA in Business Analytics program, you will develop robust skills in business analytics and engage in hands-on experience with analytical tools. The program is consistent with industry certifications, including the Certified Analytics Program (CAP) and Associated Certified Analytics Program (ACAP), and thoroughly prepares students for both certification exams. Because of the overlap in curriculum with Lebanese American University’s Global MBA program, students get expanded networking opportunities through interaction with students from both programs.
The extensive list of course options allows you to tailor the curriculum to your needs, including qualitative and quantitative analytics options. In the capstone course and industry partnerships in the Lebanon region, you’ll have the opportunity to apply practical skills and knowledge gained in the program, preparing you for real-world business scenarios.
