Recommendations for a Business Analytics Program

[EthanMDFN]

Hello! I asked a while back about advice on choosing a taxation program and I received a lot of helpful advice and am happy with the choice I made. However, recent career developments have pushed me towards the audit side of accounting. So, I am looking to kinda balance it out a little (and since it is somewhat about business processes I am not currently looking at pure data programs). Currently, I think that business analytics would be the best (only hard criteria for me is AACSB and online). So, I was wondering if anyone had any programs they would recommend or advice, especially from the perspective of a non data science career. Thanks!

I've heard pretty good things about BU's Business Analytics program, plus, it's a highly recognized school (more so with Boston College) and I'm sure that this program would partner well with an accounting degree

Basically, I agree with the MOOC options from Coursera, EdX, etc might be a first place to look for programs purely due to the pricing... Having said that, you may want to consider US institutions first if you're in the US. If you're international, find an online option from your country, if there are no options available, then select AACSB options available internationally. Moreover, I would also look at possible options from ACBSP institutions as well... Essentially, create a shortlist and select your top AACSB options and ACBSP backups...
