Data Analytics Master's Degree Program
Master of Science (MS) in Data Analytics
The Masters of Science in Data Analytics (MSDA) offers students extensive knowledge in the collection, organization, and analysis of large data sets. The core curriculum covers essential skills in descriptive, predictive, and prescriptive analytics. MSDA students then have the opportunity to select one of two tracks for in-depth study. The Business Analytics track prepares students to make data- driven decisions at the managerial or strategic level. This track is more applied, with hands-on projects and a required practicum or internship. The Technology and Computation track prepares students to develop and maintain infrastructure that drives data-driven decisions. This track provides specific mathematical, programming, and information systems skills.

What is a Concurrent Degree
A concurrent degree allows students to earn both an undergraduate and graduate degree in five years. TLU offers a Master of Accountancy (MaCY) as well as the MSDA as concurrent degrees. Both degrees require summer school for most students in order to complete both degrees in five years. The concurrent nature of the degree allows students to begin graduate classes during their senior year at TLU.
