Miami University

Ohio Wesleyan has joined with Miami University to create an early admission pathway for OWU students seeking to earn a Master of Science in Business Analytics (MSBA).

Requirements

OWU students interested in obtaining their Master of Science in Business Analytics (MSBA) at Miami must meet all of the requirements and follow processes outlined in the articulation agreement, as well as meet the requirements listed here and any applicable Miami Graduate School requirements. OWU students should apply to Miami's MSBA program by December 1 of their final year of undergraduate studies for full consideration of admission. Students must complete all requirements for their undergraduate degree and the prerequisites for Miami's MSBA program before the first semester of the MSBA program. OWU students who are admitted to Miami's MSBA program, pursuant to this Agreement, are required to pay the standard Miami University tuition and fees that are applicable to all MSBA students.

The prerequisites for Miami University's MSBA program include a college-level course in each of the following areas:

• Introductory Statistics
• Regression Analysis (full semester)
• Mathematics at the level of pre-calculus or above
• Computer Programming (any language, Python preferred)
• Structured Query Language (SQL)

Students must complete the above courses with a minimum grade of C to be eligible for admission to the MSBA program. The following courses at OWU have been approved to satisfy the MSBA prerequisites.

Miami University will admit up to ten OWU students per year who meet the following criteria:

1. Achieve a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.5
2. Complete all requirements for a Bachelor's degree at OWU
3. Complete the prerequisites listed above before applying to the MSBA program. Students who are in the process of taking the above prerequisites may submit an updated transcript to the MSBA program coordinator upon receipt of the final course grades.
4. OWU students will take ISA 291 (online) at Miami University during the summer term before entry into the MSBA in the Fall. To enroll in MSBA courses, students are required to earn a C or better in ISA 291. Regular Miami University tuition rates will apply to ISA 291.

Students who cannot complete the MSBA prerequisites (except for ISA 291) by the end of the fall semester of their final year of undergraduate study or with a cumulative GPA below 3.5 are eligible for competitive (not guaranteed) admission to the MSBA program.

In addition, Miami University offers all the above-listed prerequisite courses during the summer term. These prerequisites are subject to regular Miami University undergraduate tuition rates and fees.
