Hands-On Approach to Learning
The MS Analytics program continually updates curriculum content to teach students the latest trends in the industry. The cornerstone of our program is the work-based capstone project, where students apply their new knowledge to build a predictive model using real datasets. The results include predictions and optimization plans to keep models current. In 2025, the average monetary value of a capstone project was $127.8 million. Students use the capstone project as a portfolio to show potential employers hands-on experience.
