Hi, my name is Diana Diaz, and I am an alumnus of the MSBA Cohort 2022. I chose the MS Business Analytics program at Cal Poly Pomona primarily for its affordability and high-quality education. The program offers competitive tuition fees that make advanced education accessible without compromising quality.

The MS Business Analytics program stands out due to its exceptional faculty, practical learning opportunities, and extensive professional development resources. The professors are deeply committed to their student’s academic and professional success, providing guidance and support throughout the program.

The curriculum includes real-world projects offering practical experience and insight into business analytics. Additionally, the program enhances professional growth through various workshops and networking events, enriching the educational experience further.

I particularly appreciated the cohort-based structure, which fosters a supportive learning environment and facilitates robust networking among peers, which is invaluable for professional advancement. These elements collectively enhance the academic and career paths of students.

After graduation, my primary goal is to leverage the skills and knowledge I've acquired in the MS Business Analytics program to make a significant impact at my current workplace, LifeStream Blood Bank.
