About The MS In Business Intelligence and Analytics Program

Data science has become the ultimate driver of competitive advantage. But few leaders understand the potential of Business Intelligence and Analytics (BI&A), deep learning, and predictive analytics as engines of the enterprise.

The Business Intelligence and Analytics (BI&A) master's program provides a blend of analytical and professional skills to help you become the kind of manager who challenges assumptions and uses data to make evidence-based decisions. At Stevens, you'll master new tools that will help you refine products, services, and strategies while setting the pace for your company in markets undergoing constant, technology-driven change.

The Business Intelligence and Analytics curriculum covers the concepts at the forefront of the data revolution — machine learning, language processing, web mining, optimization, and risk. Classes explore key business concepts while going beyond basics in R, SAS, Hadoop, Python and Spark. The program culminates in a capstone experience in which you'll work on a project, using real data, under the guidance of an industry mentor.

BIA 650 Optimization and Process Analytics - 3 Credits

This course covers basic concepts in optimization and heuristic search with an emphasis on process improvement and optimization. This course emphasizes the application of mathematical optimization models over the underlying mathematics of their algorithms. While the skills developed in this course can be applied to a very broad range of business problems, the practice examples and student exercises will focus on the following areas: healthcare, logistics and supply chain optimization, capital budgeting, asset management, portfolio analysis. Most of the student exercises will involve the use of Microsoft Excel’s "Solver" add-on package for mathematical optimization.

BIA 658 Social Network Analytics - 3 Credits

Given a data matrix of cases-by-variables, a common analytical strategy involves ignoring the cases to focus on relations among the variables. In this course, we examine situations in which the main interest is in dependent relations among cases. Examples of “cases” include individuals, groups, organizations, etc.; examples of “relations” linking the cases include communication, advice, trust, alliance, collaboration etc. Application areas include social media analytics, information and technology diffusion, organization dynamics. We will learn techniques to describe, visualize and analyze social networks.

BIA 660 Web Mining - 3 Credits

In this course, students will learn through hands-on experience how to extract data from the web and analyze web-scale data using distributed computing. Students will learn different analysis methods that are widely used across the range of internet companies, from start-ups to online giants like Amazon or Google. At the end of the course, students will apply these methods to answer real scientific question or to create a useful web application.

BIA 686 Practicum in Analytics - 3 Credits

Business intelligence and analytics is key to enabling successful competition in today's world of "big data".
