MSA Curriculum

The Master of Science in Analytics (MSA) curriculum aims 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. The MSA is a single, integrated course of study taught exclusively to students in the program. It is interactive. Students work together in teams and receive personalized coaching to improve their productivity. It is an intensive 10-month learning experience designed to immerse students into the acquisition of practical knowledge and application of methods and techniques. 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. MSA students hone their skills working on challenging problems with actual data shared from sponsoring organizations. The Practicum spans eight months and culminates with an executive-level report and presentation to the sponsor.
