Employment Outcomes

The IAA was founded on a principle of transparency in providing prospective applicants with relevant data on student outcomes.

A Track Record of Success

We believe in letting the numbers speak for themselves. The M.S. in Analytics employment report is a full census of our annual placement results. Each year’s initial report is published on or about May 15 for consistency.

Annual Employment Reports

Data with respect to salaries and bonuses are self-reported by graduates (without anonymity). Data are made public here to guide prospective students and employers. Annual base salary figures do not include signing bonuses, annual bonuses, equity or options, relocation allowances or other forms of one-time compensation guaranteed upon signing.

The MSA is a STEM-qualified degree. International graduates are eligible for Optional Practical Training (OPT).

The Institute has a proven track record for placing graduates in the analytics profession, but it does not under any circumstance offer a guarantee of employment upon completion of the MSA degree.
