Yes, you can pursue a master's in business analytics without a bachelor's degree in business or data analytics. Many universities accept students from diverse academic backgrounds if you have a strong quantitative foundation and relevant skills.

Highlight any coursework or projects involving quantitative analysis, statistics, or programming from your game design background. Some programs may expect or recommend proficiency in programming languages like Python or R, or require foundational courses in mathematics or statistics.

Admission requirements vary by university, so prerequisites may differ.
