Manderson business analytics programs
The Manderson Graduate School of Business, housed within the Culverhouse College of Business at The University of Alabama, is home to unique degree program offerings with a focus on business analytics.
Learning What’s Possible
“I learned about UA’s world-class faculty, state-of-the-art research facilities, and vibrant campus community–all of which seemed like the perfect fit for my goals and aspirations. And so, I decided to apply, even though it meant leaving behind everything I had ever known in Nigeria and embarking on a new and uncertain journey. But I was determined to succeed.”
Benjamin Ajibade (M.S. in Business Analytics, 2023)
