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.
