CONGRATULATIONS MSBA Students

WHAT’S NEXT?

The Graduate Admissions & Financial Aid Office is thrilled to welcome you to Boston University Questrom School of Business and the Masters of Science in Business Analytics program.

This is an exciting time, but we know it can be a little overwhelming, too. First, let’s get you started with your next steps. Below is an outline of important dates and details to help make your transition to Questrom as smooth as possible. This site also provides you with information on resources available to you as an MSBA student, as well as frequently asked questions. Looking to connect with current MSBA students? Feel free to reach out directly. Have questions about financial aid? We’ve got your covered. Most importantly, don’t forget, the Graduate Admissions team is always an email or call away to answer any questions you have.

Mark Your Program Start Date
Your program will begin with LAUNCH Orientation and Bootcamp taking place August 10^th – 28^th, 2026. Both MSBA LAUNCH and Bootcamp are mandatory and will be held ONLY in-person for all incoming students. Students are welcome to arrive in Boston as early as August 3rd, and we strongly recommend arriving on or shortly after that date to give yourself time to get settled before the start of MSBA LAUNCH.

A complete LAUNCH and Bootcamp schedule including session details and logistics will be shared in July 2026.
