Graduate / 'Data - the source of information'. Why is the Texas MS BA the next logical step for you? [3]
Why is the Texas MS BA the next logical step for you? How do you hope to develop, both personally and professionally, during this one-year program ? (250 words)
Big data is promising for financial services companies. With no physical products to manufacture, data - the source of information - is one of arguably their most important assets. The business of banking and financial management is rife with transactions, conducting hundreds of millions daily. At the same time, these firms are dealing with a very diverse and demanding customer base that insists on communicating and transacting business, any time of the day or night. With growth of social media the banking and financial industries are more concerned about their reputations and brands being discussed by customers within their large personal networks. So they need help of business analytics to harvest and leverage this information to gain a competitive advantage and make better and informed decision. Since I already have strong financial background and some knowledge of quantitative tools and basic knowledge of programming language like C, C++ and Python MSBA could be next logical step for me.
Should I be accepted, I will cherish my chance to learn from qualified professors of McCombs. Another reason for my enthusiasm is of getting chance to learn advanced tool and technology from the country who is a leader in technology. I will seize the opportunities of group working with other creative like- minded and at the same time having differentiate opinion classmate. That will teach me to tackle and improve competitiveness. I am also looking forward to learn in class full of students from different culture. Having a hobby and interest of learning different culture I am hoping Austin's vibrant and progressive lifestyle and campus life would be a experience I would cherish lifelong.
