Elon University’s Master of Science in Business Analytics is expanding its presence in Charlotte through the MSBA Flex Program, a part-time option designed for working professionals who want to build advanced analytics and AI-driven decision-making skills.
Based at Elon University’s National Campus in Charlotte, the MSBA Flex program offers the same STEM-certified curriculum as Elon’s full-time MSBA, with a format built around evening classes, weekend experiences and hybrid flexibility.
Students learn in small classes and receive personalized mentorship from faculty while completing applied, project-based coursework that can connect directly to workplace challenges.
A distinguishing feature of the Charlotte-based program is its focus on the intersection of analytics, artificial intelligence and entrepreneurship.
“What distinguishes the MSBA Flex program in Charlotte is its focus on AI in action,” said Mark Kurt, associate dean for the Martha and Spencer Love School of Business. “Students move beyond theory to design applied analytics and AI tools, supported by faculty mentorship, a Charlotte-based professional community and immersive experiences that show how organizations are using data to drive innovation.”
Coursework introduces students to core analytics concepts and modern approaches to working with data, with applied projects that emphasize real-world problem solving and decision-making.
MSBA Flex students will also have the opportunity to participate in a 3 to 4 day immersive domestic experience at no additional cost, offering a closer look at how organizations apply analytics and AI to drive impact.
Elon’s National Campus in Charlotte places students near employers and organizations across finance, health care, consulting and tech, supporting networking and applied learning.

Elon’s National Campus
As part of Elon University’s strategic plan for 2030, Boldly Elon, the university has identified key areas for deepening and expanding its national footprint to areas that include Charlotte, Los Angeles, New York, Washington, D.C., and other strategic locations. National Campus Programs aspire to be an extension of Elon’s main campus by bringing the same quality, energy, engagement and service to our constituents around the country. These campuses benefit the greater university by offering unique professional and cultural experiences to undergraduate and graduate students that they can only experience in these select locations and provide engagement for external members of the Elon community.
Elon’s National Campuses each host robust activity centered around engaged, place-based, academic programs offering new opportunities for current students through internships and Elon’s Study USA programs. Each campus supports multiple Elon partners (alumni, admissions, advancement, career services, athletics, professional and continuing education, and more) by collaboratively working with these departments to host distinctive events, programs and workshops that support their respective constituents to advance Elon’s national footprint.
