Looks like the business track isn't offered in the online program (yet), which is weird because it looks like all the requirements are offered online.

I'm curious to learn more about the business track, do you know where I might be able to read more about what is covered? Thank you.

Yep! Check out this link: http://www.analytics.gatech.edu/curriculum/business-analytic...
Most of the core classes (like machine learning) are more math based. In machine learning, it's done from a mathematical/theoretical approach. Another example is regression analysis, where you learn the math before doing the practical work in R.
I have a weak math/stats background but a strong software background, which also aligns with my interests so I'm doing the computational track. As I mentioned before, most of the core curriculum is math heavy so I'm learning that aspect, but I'm also getting a ton of practical experience in machine learning and big data work.
