Master of Business Analytics (MBAN)
A high-performance program built for those ready to push their limits and lead ahead of the future
The Sobey Master of Business Analytics (MBAN) is redefining what a modern analytics degree should be. It brings together business analytics, cutting-edge agentic AI, health data specialization, and one of Canada’s most immersive extended internship experiences—creating a program built for the next generation of AI-driven leaders.
Measured against what truly matters—real-world experience, career outcomes, applied learning, and future-focused AI curriculum—Sobey MBAN stands firmly in Canada’s top tier. Not only does it compete with the country’s most prestigious universities, it outperforms many of them where it counts most.
This is not just another analytics program—it’s a career accelerator, built on three bold pillars of excellence:
Immersive Internship Experience
Our outcomes demonstrate a strong and consistent record of student success. Over the past three years, the MBAN program has achieved approximately 95% internship placement, with students securing impactful roles across a wide range of organizations.
Through strong industry partnerships and hands-on applied learning, students work on real organizational challenges using real-world data and stakeholder collaboration. As a result, MBAN graduates are exceptionally well prepared for careers in analytics, AI, healthcare, consulting, and business transformation. See Students Internship and Placement for detailed outcomes across all MBAN graduates and current students.
A Future-Proof AI Curriculum
While other programs play catch-up, we pioneer. Our curriculum is one of the first in the nation to integrate LangChain-focused Agentic AI and Large Language Models (LLMs). We go beyond technical execution, embedding dedicated coursework in Explainable AI, Ethics, and Risk Frameworks for AI to prepare you to lead organizations through the complexities of the AI era.
The Dual Credential Advantage
Maximize your market value without increasing your tuition. Every MBAN student can earn a Graduate Certificate in Health Data Analytics at no additional cost. This provides a strategic fast-track into the multi-billion dollar healthcare sector, giving you a distinct competitive advantage the moment you graduate. The stand-alone program information is available here GDHDA.
