Save on tuition and fast-track to a master’s degree in Data Analytics through JWU’s combined B.S./M.S. Data Analytics program.
Our world is becoming increasingly data-driven. In 5 years of continuous study, expect to gain expertise in organizing, analyzing and utilizing data — and, as you advance, how to effectively harness that data to drive organizational decisions and optimize performance.
JWU’s interdisciplinary bachelor of science in Data Analytics will give you a strong foundation in mathematics, computer science and communications, with courses in both JWU’s College of Engineering & Design and John Hazen White College of Arts & Sciences.
At the master’s level, you’ll apply statistical models and tools to solve real-world problems. Gain skills in data mining, analytics, management and visualization, forecasting, modeling, and optimization and simulation to prepare you for the technical and business challenges posed by big data. You will also examine the ethical, legal and political issues of data usage and its implications for a given application, market or population.
Requirements
Eligible undergraduate students who would like to pursue the combined degree program should apply by the end of their first year to take maximum advantage of this accelerated option. Students who qualify* for the combined degree will need to complete a formal application with Graduate Admissions by no later than the start of their junior year.
*Students must satisfy separate admission requirements for both undergraduate and graduate programs. Admission to the undergraduate program does not guarantee admission to the graduate program.
Our graduates will be able to bridge the gap that too often appears between data analysts and the content experts — like scientists, administrators, business professionals — that hire them.Professor Evelina Lapierre, Ph.D.
