The curriculum integrates technical mastery with strategic thinking, preparing graduates for leadership roles in the fast-evolving data economy. With support from a faculty of scholars and industry experts, the program fosters a collaborative, research-driven learning environment.
Under Sinha’s leadership, Chapman University’s MSBA program aims to become a premier destination for analytics education, equipping students to innovate and lead in today’s competitive global landscape.
