Data Analytics, M.S.

Today’s business professionals are charged with driving their organization’s performance. Many look to data to identify issues, improve decision-making and highlight new opportunities. The more a company understands its data, the more its competitive advantage grows. In short, organizations need highly qualified professionals trained in data science, and there are not enough to meet this demand. In fact, according to a recent McKinsey Institute analysis, there will be a need for an additional 1.5 million data savvy managers by 2018. That is where Rockhurst’s Data Analytics program comes in.

Students who successfully complete this program will earn the Master of Science degree from the Helzberg School of Management and are expected to adhere to the Helzberg School of Management  Graduate Business Programs Admission Requirements, Standards and Policies.
