Course Selection

Required Course Scheduling Notes:

Students planning to graduate in three semesters should map out their course planning as follows: 

• First semester (if STA 9708 required): STA 9708, CIS 9340, & CIS 9650
• Second semester: CIS 9660
• Final semester: BUS 9430

BUS 9430 Business Analytics Project Lifecycle Management is a required capstone course and is completed later in the program.  

• The prerequisites are CIS 9340, CIS 9650, and CIS 9660. Before enrolling in the course, students must meet all prerequisites.
• CIS 9650 & CIS 9660 are two-course sequence, therefore, they cannot be taken concurrently.
• Plan your registration for BUS 9430 based on your expected date of graduation.

MS students will receive an email from the advising team with more specific information related to your program requirements.  New students should note that evaluations will be sent to the same email address that you used to apply to your degree program.

Students with appropriate academic background will be able to reduce the number of credits in preliminary requirements.

Courses are reviewed based on Baruch undergraduate-level courses. If you earned your BBA in Computer Information Systems, Statistics or Quantitative Modeling you may receive course substitutions for the following courses:

Students who have been granted a course substitution can take as the replacement any Zicklin 9000-level course, provided they have the necessary prerequisite.

NOTES

• Students will need to email ZicklinMSAdvising@baruch.cuny.edu if they need course permission to enroll in a next-level course using an undergraduate course as a prerequisite.
• Students will need to email ZicklinMSAdvising@baruch.cuny.edu after completing the course and the final grade is posted, so the course substitution can be entered on the DegreeWorks degree audit.
