    I think it would be unusual to title such a thing Business Statistics. This sort of work could happen under a title like Applied Statistics. Closely related interdisciplinary work is also done under the subject titles like Operations Research, Industrial Engineering, Operations Management, Logistics / Supply Chain Management, Data Mining, Enterprise Resource Planning, Knowledge Management, and Geographic Information Systems. There are tons of online programs in these.

    Business statistics as an area of study is common at the master's level, but "Business Statistics" would be a surprising title, because these are tools that can be applied in business and elsewhere. Imagine a program in "Business Writing" when that work is done very well in programs in Technical Writing.

    Years ago Northcentral University had a specialization within their graduate programs in business administration in Business Quantitative Methods. They retired it without any close successor now.

    Interesting subject coverage, and title, here:

    Stevens Institute of Technology
    MS in Stochastic Systems and Optimization (More)
    "This program focuses on analysis and optimal decision-making for complex systems involving uncertain data and risk. The program includes courses in statistics, stochastic processes, stochastic optimization, and stochastic optimal control theory. Applications to financial systems, network design and routing, telecommunication systems, medicine, actuarial mathematics, and other areas are discussed. Students are encouraged to apply the techniques they learn to problems derived from their professional work and interests."
