Master of Science in Applied Business Analytics/Master of Science in Organizational Leadership

Jacksonville University offers a dual degree program in which qualified students may obtain a Master of Science in Applied Business Analytics (MSABA) and a Master of Science in Organizational Leadership (MSOL) degree. This innovative program allows cross crediting of coursework.

This dual degree program is designed for leaders in a wide variety of organizations and management-

level careers that want to apply business analytic skills to leadership activities. Jacksonville University’s program offers broad exposure to advanced-level analytical skills and core business leadership knowledge. Students enrolled in the dual MSABA/MSOL degree program complete graduate level core courses in the MSOL and all the required analytical courses in the MSABA. Graduates are awarded a Master of Science in Applied Business Analytics and a Master of Science in Organizational Leadership. The degree is a dual degree and will be conferred at the completion of both programs.

Students who choose the dual MSABA/MSOL degree program will be required to apply to and be admitted into both the MSABA and MSOL programs. They will be required to complete 54 credits in the Davis College of Business Graduate Programs in addition any foundation courses required. Because the MSABA curriculum includes core business graduate courses and the MSOL has some courses that crossover, the cross crediting of coursework reduces the total courses required by three (3) classes (9 credits) while still including all the analytical skills and the leadership knowledge necessary in a broad range of organizations.

This course is required for candidates who do not have two semesters of undergraduate economics.
