"Being part of the MSBA program at Gies was a transformative experience that equipped me with the analytical skills and strategic mindset essential for my current role. The hands-on projects, industry-relevant curriculum, and collaborative environment prepared me to navigate the complexities of the business analytics field. Gies truly laid the foundation for my successful career journey in the US."
Manoj Gudala, MSBA '22
Global Lead IT Business Analyst at Kellanova
“The MSBA program at Gies was one of the most exciting chapters of my journey. With a background in marketing analytics and consulting, I thought I knew data—but this program raised the bar. From collaborating with a brilliant cohort to professors who encouraged going beyond the syllabus, every day was an opportunity to explore. The Career and Professional Development team felt like personal career coaches, and sessions with guest speakers were like mini TED Talks. Whether through projects or hallway debates over Python vs. R, Gies made learning hands-on and your voice always mattered.”
Robin Luke, MSBA '25
Manager, Marketing Insights & Analytics at The Home Depot
“The Gies MSBA program does more than just teach you machine learning syntax. It truly teaches you how to turn that knowledge into a business strategy. The curriculum provides a powerful toolkit in predictive analytics and data storytelling, and constantly challenges you to apply it. This all came together in the business practicum, where we built machine learning models to solve a complex, real-world problem for a company. That strategic, hands-on experience is exactly what I use today as a Business Process Associate Consultant at SAP, prepared to make a real impact from day one.”
