During BaseCamp, faculty members provide students with a high-level overview of the MSBA program and bring in a range of Tepper School staff, including members of the recruitment team, to supply information about financial aid, career planning and student services. Other BaseCamp activities include a company visit, campus tour and social event in Pittsburgh.

Experience the world of analytics at Carnegie Mellon! This immersion experience offers a window into the different ways in which Carnegie Mellon faculty and staff impact this cutting edge field. From applications of analytics in athletics to using analytics to manage an organization, this on-campus experience will give you insight into the expanding ways in which data and analytics are applied in the business world today. You will also have the opportunity to engage in developmental workshops with faculty and our Accelerate Leadership Center.

Beginning of Mini-Semester 3 in Year Two

Prior to kicking off your semester long capstone course, you will come to campus for a Capstone Experience Weekend. During this weekend you will meet your faculty and company sponsor and gear up for your semester long project.
