Two New Graduate Programs Prepare Business Students for Data-Driven Careers
Master key analytical and decision-making skills in just one year, and launch a lucrative career focused on big data.
The field of business analytics is growing at a tremendous pace. With a master’s degree in this exciting field, you’ll be trained to optimize business results in companies around the globe focused on marketing, finance, supply chain, healthcare and more. Truly a business degree of the future, you can be a data scientist, data analyst, machine learning analyst, business intelligence analyst, quantitative finance analyst or financial engineer. This master’s degree is a 30-credit program that can be completed in one year of full-time study, and it will also lay the foundation to pursue a PhD in analytics.
Professors leading the program are enthusiastic, vastly knowledgeable about the topics, and inspire candidates to grow and further develop their skills and capabilities. From personal experience, I have been able to develop technical capabilities such as programming in Python with a knowledge of various libraries and methods.
