“A majority of our graduate business students are working professionals, so financial obligation is a priority in their education decision matrix,” said Jewel Shepherd, Ph.D., associate dean of business graduate programs and associate professor of health services administration. “Here at USD, we are proud to be a public institution able to keep costs low, while also providing high quality programs.”

TechGuide identified USD's online Master of Science in Business Analytics (MSBA) program among the top 25 institutions for providing exceptional educational opportunities at an affordable cost. This recognition underscores the program's dedication to delivering outstanding education while remaining accessible to students.

“Since the inception of our MSBA, our students have cited cost and quality as their two most important criteria for program selection in surveys and conversations,” said Thomas Tiahrt, Ph.D., POET professor of business analytics and associate professor of decision sciences. “Our MSBA curriculum delivers quality by pairing the unchanging mathematical theory underlying analytics with practical applications to derive business insights from data. Our purpose is to enable our graduates to go from success to success in their careers because their success is our success.”
