The Master of Science in Analytics (MSA) curriculum is designed to produce graduates with the multi-faceted skills needed to draw insights from complex data sets, and to be able to communicate those insights effectively. Data science is a rapidly evolving field, and our faculty iterate on the curriculum to ensure its relevance.

Intensive

• The MSA is a 10-month, full-time, on-campus learning experience that spans three semesters: Summer II, Fall, and Spring.
• It is delivered as a single, integrated course of study taught exclusively to students in the MSA cohort.
• Classes, workshops, team meetings, and other program activities are held Monday-Friday from approximately 9 a.m. – 4 p.m.

Immersive

• The program emphasizes the acquisition and application of practical knowledge and skills.
• MSA students work on challenging business problems with actual data shared from sponsoring organizations.
• Students regularly engage with data professionals, gaining exposure to best practices and emerging trends across various industry sectors.

Interactive

• The program climate is collaborative, rather than competitive. MSA students work together in teams and receive individualized coaching to maximize their effectiveness.
• The Institute houses classrooms, team rooms, study spaces, and other amenities under one roof, as well as the faculty and staff who are available to interact with students throughout the day.
