NUS BAC
In 2013, NUS BAC was established in collaboration with IBM to develop a talent pool of business analytics professionals to meet the needs of companies looking to improve their businesses through the use of analytics. In a 5-year collaboration that ensued, NUS offered academic expertise to design, craft and conduct the MSBA programme while IBM contributed industrial knowledge.

Global interest in the field of analytics has since grown tremendously, with companies across various industries actively seeking for talent who excel in the analytics field. To date, 300 industrial analytics projects were completed by NUS MSBA students, with the school forming valuable partnerships with more than 50 organisations.
