Ten-month Curriculum

Our intensive ten-month curriculum will teach students the requisite analytic skills, such as machine learning and artificial intelligence needed to work with big data sets and to solve complex problems from multiple perspectives.  The curriculum provides a “book-end” approach where business context is taught first, followed by intensive analytic methodology coursework, and ending with a final business application capstone project.  Interwoven in each course in the program will be assignments which will require students to analyze data and present it in at least one of the common modalities used in business including verbal communication with presentation software such as PowerPoint or by written communication such as white papers, memos, and reports.
