Good School for Applied Business analytics
I’m helping narrow down MS programs in Applied Business Analytics and would love recommendations from people who’ve gone through the process or are currently in these programs.
My priorities are:
Strong consulting placements (MBB, Deloitte, Accenture, EY, KPMG, PwC, etc.)
Curriculum focused more on applied/business analytics than hardcore data science or machine learning
Good balance of analytics, business strategy, data storytelling, and stakeholder communication
Strong career services and alumni network
Good ROI and internship opportunities
A few questions:
Which programs consistently place graduates into consulting roles?
Are there any underrated schools with excellent consulting outcomes?
Does the school brand matter more than the curriculum for consulting recruiting?
If your goal is consulting rather than becoming a data scientist, which programs would you prioritize?
I’d especially appreciate insights from alumni or current students about recruiting, internships, and where graduates actually end up.
Thanks in advance!
