What the paper says

The Master of Science in Business Analytics (MSBA) programme at the National University of Singapore (NUS), offered through the NUS Business Analytics Centre (BAC), was awarded the prestigious INFORMS UPS George D. Smith Prize in 2025. At the core of the programme’s pedagogical philosophy are a structured industry collaboration framework, and an “industry-ready pipeline”, underpinned by the ACDIN training pedagogy. Together, these represent institutional innovations that effectively bridge the gap between academia and industry, systematically cultivating high-quality, practice-oriented analytics professionals.
