Overview
The M.S. in Data Analytics and Visualization curriculum equips students with the full spectrum of skills modern data professionals need, from the technical to the strategic, preparing graduates to turn complex data into decisions that drive real organizational impact. Students develop fluency in structured data management, analytics programming in high-level languages, and cloud-based distributed data systems, while also mastering the mathematical foundations in probability, statistics, and linear algebra that separate analysts who understand their models from those who simply run them. Courses in Data Science bring predictive techniques like classification, regression, clustering, and natural language processing within reach, and the AI Product Studio prepares students to design and deploy AI-augmented analytics pipelines — including LLM-powered tools, RAG-based knowledge retrieval, and agentic workflows — that represent the cutting edge of how analytics is practiced today.
Equally distinctive is the program's emphasis on context and communication. Courses in Data-Driven Organizations, Talent Analytics, and Data Product Design teach students to frame analyses within business strategy and customer value creation, ensuring their work gets adopted, not just admired. Visual Design and Storytelling builds the narrative skills to make data compelling to any audience, while Project Management prepares graduates to lead cross-functional initiatives from scoping through delivery. The program culminates in a capstone where students integrate these competencies into portfolio-ready projects, demonstrating end-to-end analytical capability. Graduates emerge as versatile, forward-thinking professionals who are equally at home designing data architecture, building predictive models, and presenting insights to an executive team.
The master's in data analytics can be completed full time in just 15 months or part time at a pace that makes sense for you. Review degree requirements below and
