B.A. in History/M.S. in Business Analytics

The Department of History and the Stillman School of Business offer a dual-degree program that allows students to complete two degrees in five years.  At the completion of this program, students will earn a B.A. in History and an M.S. in Business Analytics.  Students should apply for this program in their Junior Year by submitting an application to the Stillman School of Business Graduate Admissions Office. If accepted, students take 9 credits of M.S. in Business Analytics core courses.  These credits replace 9 credits of undergraduate electives and count toward the 120 credit B.A. in History degree.  Students interested in this program must take a Statistics class (which fulfills the A&S Core Requirement in Math). Students will also have to meet IT Pre-Qualification Requirements (through PQ course, PQ waiver, or Challenge Examination).  Upon completion of 120 credits and their major and Core requirements, students receive a B.A. in History. They are then expected to take the remaining 21 credits for the M.S. in Business Analytics degree in their 5th year.
