I think MBA curriculum might have more Business oriented courses than MS curriculum. If you already have an MBA wouldn't MSBA be better? Nonetheless, you might want to check curriculums of the unis that you are interested in

As per my understanding, Business Analytics is more about using data and making insights which are useful for future planning in an organization whereas MBA is just like project management, handling clients, scrum and things like that. MBA is not technical whereas BA has predictive analysis and things like that. Hope this helps. There is more demand in BA these days as 'data' has become the 'new oil'.

MS courses are generally STEM courses which help you get 3 years OPT if I am not wrong.

Thanks for the reply, but my confusion is in between MS and MBA within the same course(BA) 
For example: University of Pennsylvania offers MBA in BA &
University of Michigan offers MS in BA, so what is the difference?
