Hear from Our Students

"Personally, I've never been a strong stats student, so being able to relearn concepts and introduce new ones has been great. My fellow classmates are also so awesome. If someone was interested in taking on a career in Analytics, I would highly recommend it."

Lennin Jaime Avila – Cohort 2027

"I'm enjoying learning about programming and the processes/functions each program uses to execute the intended functions. With the skills that I'm learning now, I'm hoping that it puts me in a better position to secure another job in a different industry that I'm in now. If a friend asked about the MSBA at CSUCI, what would you say? I'd say that they should do it."

Jaason Loucks – Cohort 2027

"It's a great opportunity to expand your knowledge personally and professionally. I feel like I am learning skills that I can directly apply to my place of work. The hands-on learning and freedom to problem solve on my assignments is what I also enjoy about the program."
