M.S. APPLIED DATA ANALYTICS

Companies produce transactional data, consumers generate shopping data, social media sites generate sentiment data, cell phones generate location data and devices such as automobiles generate sensory and operating data.  Big Data is expected to rapidly become a key determinant of competition across all sectors of the economy leading to a continuing severe shortage of analytics talent.

This completely online program integrates computer and information science, statistics, and data-based business management principles to inform data driven decision making.  It is an applied, technology-intensive program focused on hands-on learning of the tools and techniques of data analytics.

The MS in Applied Data Analytics program emphasizes technical proficiency and applied practical experience and provides students with skills in database processing, data warehousing, data mining, and data visualization to solve big data problems.
