MORGANTOWN, W.Va. - West Virginia University's Board of Governors has approved a new master's degree in business data analysis.
The new degree is a one-year, full-time online program with two three-day residencies.

The board approved the new degree on Friday. The next regular meeting of the university's board of governors is scheduled for Nov. 6.
