Notes: Data with respect to salaries and bonuses are self-reported by graduates (without anonymity) and whenever possible verified by the employer in cases where placement is arranged by the Institute (i.e., most candidates). All job placements are full-time paid positions. 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). Commencement is typically held on the first weekend in May, prior to the university\u2019s official graduation date. Employment results are reported each year on or about May 15 for consistency.<\/p>\n

DISCLAIMER: 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.<\/p>\n
