THE PROBLEM

Big data challenges and opportunities are driving change in virtually every industry – and this trend is only increasing. However, data science and analysis alone will not impact an organization without skilled professionals who can connect these insights to the needs of organizations and their leaders. People with these skills are truly valuable – and still too rare.

THE SOLUTION

Wittenberg’s Master of Science in Analytics program is designed to provide students with critical skills and applicable knowledge to tackle even the most challenging real-world or business problems. The MSA program helps students become the skilled analysts and problem solvers so many organizations need.

We provide students with a high quality education and constant opportunities to engage instructors and mentors with significant professional experience and contacts. Students will not only gain skills and expertise in their target field but will team up with peers to tackle problems in other areas.
