3 Thoughts from Dean Prenkert: Fall 2024

MSBA turns 10! 

The demand for analytics skills continues to grow. And we’re positioned to continue leading in this space, thanks to a decision made in 2014 to launch a Master of Science in Business Analytics degree. With expert faculty, unique experiential learning opportunities, and rigorous courses, our program is highly ranked, seeing successful outcomes for more than 800 graduates, and launching a new GenAI focus in the curriculum. Congratulations and thanks to all who have made this last decade a memorable one! 
 

Alpha Phi Alpha partnership.

Our first effort of its kind, this agreement with a Divine Nine organization will allow us to reach a new population of diverse, talented people interested in graduate business degrees. Each year, we’ll award up to three full-tuition fellowships to APA members. I’m eager to see how this two-year partnership enhances our student body. 
 

Elevate, our strategic planning process.

As I hope you know by now, we’ve launched a strategic planning process. Named Elevate, we want to bring in as many voices as possible to inform our future. Please be on the lookout for your opportunity to engage. Thank you in advance for your participation in this important effort!
