The current cohort recognizes the value in graduating within one year as a little over half of students choose to follow a 12-month curriculum path. Several of the program’s new cohort received their undergraduate degrees from all over the nation, as well as globally. Currently, most of the cohort have full-time professional working experience and once assumed managerial positions within their industry. The topic of interest for most MSDSCM students revolves around forecasting for the future, modeling, data analytics and optimization methods.

Additionally, this program is all inclusive with 40% of MSBA students being international, spanning three continents and eight countries/regions. Although 45% of students are from either a CSU or UC, this program is open to all prospective students from any university and welcomes all majors.
