USC Masters of Science in Business Analytics

03/25/2025

Last month, over 100 USC Marshall Ms. Business Analytics (MSBA) professionals participated in the 5th Annual Global MSBA Case Competition — joining the competition team and connecting with sponsors through hours of meaningful networking. 

In just two weeks, teams tackled an AI and data-driven client project, gaining real-world experience in collaboration, problem-solving, innovation, and client management. 

Thank you to all who made this opportunity possible!✌️✌️

🎉🏆This past weekend, we were delighted to celebrate the MSBA program’s 10-year anniversary with our students, alumni, MSBA Board of Advisors, faculty, and program friends.

This milestone would not have been possible without the unwavering support of our community, whose dedication and contributions have helped shape the program into what it is today. Thank you for being part of this special occasion and for your continued commitment to the MSBA family! ✌️✌️

Last Thursday, the RTCC ballroom was alive with celebration as we gathered for the MSBA Culmination Dinner to honor the incredible Fall 2024 and Spring 2025 MSBA graduates. With close to 300 attendees, including students, guests, faculty, and staff, the evening was truly unforgettable. 💫
The room was filled with laughter, positivity, and bittersweet moments as we reflected on the memories made and the milestones achieved. From sharing heartfelt words to recognizing outstanding students with fun Community Awards like “Fashionista” and “Most Likely to Become a Millionaire,” the night was a perfect blend of celebration and connection. 🏆
This evening wasn’t just about looking back but also about embracing the future, as our graduates take their next steps with confidence and excitement. We are so proud of all you’ve accomplished, and we can’t wait to see what lies ahead.✨
Here’s to creating more memories, cherishing the friendships built, and celebrating your incredible journey! 🥂
