Summary/Abstract: In this article, we research 543 AACSB accredited business schools in the US and Canada to understand if Decision Sciences including Supply Chain and Operations Management have adequate coverage in current curriculum designs of Business Analytics programs, to summarize skill sets covered in a typical Business Analytics degree and concentration, and to give perspective to business schools that are at the early stages of designing their Business Analytics programs. This study is unique in the sense that it is the first time a general study is conducted over the entire spectrum of AACSB accredited programs and this study is timely since there are many Business Analytics programs at their early design state that can benefit from this study.
