Data Science & Analytics Master’s Degree
The DSA is designed with an in-depth, technically-rigorous core curriculum followed by domain-specialized emphasis area courses.
Advanced Big Data and Analytics tools and techniques are used throughout the program coursework. Courses are delivered online or on campus. Additionally, online students spend one week each spring on campus with faculty during an executive session.
“The goals of each student vary as widely as their backgrounds and experience. They are professionals that all see the value of data driven analysis and will each use these new skills to complement their areas of expertise.”
