Instructional areas included, but are not limited to, analytics, with particular expertise in the foundation of analytics and statistical modeling, evidence-based analytics and informational design. The mission of the Master of Professional Studies in Analytics program is to foster foundational analytics skills among working professionals that are not specific to any particular professional domains or disciplines (e.g. business, marketing, engineering). Via the program students establish confidence in their abilities to master analytics at the intersection between technology and business application, and through experiential learning opportunities gaining a full appreciation for the true power of analytics. This degree prepares students for entry-¬‐ and mid-¬‐level roles in analytics (e.g. Analytics Managers, Data Analysts, Data Systems Developers, Data Scientists & Advanced Analysts), and data driven decision makers (e,g, CEOs and CIOs, Product- and Marketing Managers, Financial, IT and Supply Chain- Logistics Managers, and Functional Analysts) to aptly interpret and apply analytics. The degree is deeply rooted in experiential learning that is closely linked to professional applications in the work force.
