Not all Business Analytics and Information Systems courses are offered every semester - so please make sure to contact advising to plan ahead. 

Students also have the opportunity to continue their education with an MS in Business Analytics or a MS in Information Systems . The BANA/ISMG 4+1 program allows students to potentially complete the BS and MS degrees in as little as five years through substituting two graduate courses for two undergraduate courses. The graduate courses count towards both the BS and MS degrees. 

If you are considering this 4+1 program, make sure to contact your advisor immediately so that you can appropriately plan your coursework. You can do this by emailing undergrad.advising@ucdenver.edu.
