The Master of Science in Customer Analytics trains and develops future problem-solving leaders.  As the size of the digital universe continues to double every 2 year, and is expected to continue to do so, the need for Practitioners, Data Scientists, Solutions Leaders, and Analysts will continue to grow.  Through the utilization of real-world data sets, students gain the skills, confidence and expertise required to succeed in today’s information sensitive environment.  Students are sought who are analytically curious.  Graduates will harness and communicate the full value of large data sets prevalent in today’s “big data” business environment.  Graduates will review data sets, identify potential problems, and will have awareness of and can identify the correct analytic techniques. They will then effectively communicate results to others with the goal of improving management decision making.
