The analytics and information management (AIM) M.B.A. concentration at
Rutgers Business School provides skills to prepare students for careers
in the major technical areas of management information systems. In
particular, courses are offered in database systems, internet security,
data mining, enterprise resource planning, accounting systems, and
software engineering. Students are provided hands-on instruction with
state-of-the-art software. This concentration is administered by the
Department of Management Science and Information Systems, but technology-related courses in other departments may be used for the concentration.
The concentration introduces statistics as applied to managerial
problems, emphasizing conceptual understanding as well as conducting
statistical analyses. Students learn the limitations and potential of
statistics, gain hands-on experience using Excel, as well as
comprehensive packages, such as R or SAS. Students are encouraged to
take an analytic view of decision-making by formalizing trade-offs,
specifying constraints, providing for uncertainty, and performing
sensitivity analyses.
Courses of study provide students with an understanding of database
technology and its application in managing data resources. Students
analyze the conceptual, logical, and physical design of databases.
