SFSU Accelerated Bachelor's + Master's Program

The SFSU Accelerated Bachelor's + Master's program in Decision Sciences or Business Analytics allow students to obtain both a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration with concentration in either Decisions Sciences or Business Analytics and a STEM-designated Master of Science in Business Analytics in just five years. These programs prepare graduates for positions such as business analyst, data scientist, data analyst, operations analyst, marketing analyst, and more. This program allows students to earn graduate credit while in their junior and/or senior year, reducing the number of semesters required for completion of a master’s degree. Both of these San Francisco State University programs offer students additional career prospects, intellectual growth and the opportunity to deepen skills and research competencies.
