The Master of Science degree with a major in Data Analytics aims to develop students' theoretical and practical knowledge, skills, and experience needed to lead, plan, organize, and manage data analytics projects for business decision making. Students participating in this program desire additional study in order to expand and enhance their ability to contribute to their career path, company, and society. This program allows students to be engaged in working in a paid or non-paid position, (provided this employment is appropriate for a training opportunity, considering the goals and requirements of the degree program), which may include current employment in a full- or part-time professional position, participation in job shadowing, or participation in an internship. Additionally, the program provides a foundation for future employment to extend the academic experience with practical training as noted above. The program will cover key concepts and applications related to statistics, data sources, data visualization, big data, data and text mining, and data preparation and reporting to generate insights and predict trends. Students will integrate a biblical framework that guides interactions within the business environment.
