Dear Colleagues, For those of you who aren't aware of it, we'd like to introduce Georgia Tech's interdisciplinary Master of Science in Analytics.
Offered jointly by GT's nationally-ranked colleges of Computing, Engineering, and Business, the MS in Analytics degree leverages the strengths and resources of Georgia Tech in computing, business, statistics, and operations research. The curriculum includes: * An interdisciplinary core to give students integrated breadth * Customized, specialized depth: electives chosen from more than 40 possibilities across the three colleges, based on each student's personal interests and career goals, and specialization in one of three tracks in analytical tools, business analytics, and computational data analytics * Experience with a wide variety of analytics software (R, SAS, Hadoop, etc.) and computing platforms (high-performance clusters, clouds, etc.) * Practical analytics experience through an applied analytics practicum with a company or organization Students also benefit from training and resources in: * Creativity * Teamwork and leadership * Oral and written communication * Job placement, including a dedicated placement professional, funding to attend a major analytics conference, exposure at Georgia Tech's annual Big Data Forum, etc. Our incoming Fall 2014 cohort is an impressive lot! Our 40 students have a median quantitative GRE/GMAT score in the 93rd percentile, a median GPA of 3.7, and a median 2 years of work experience, with 25% having 10+ years of experience. 15 incoming students already have a Master's degree in another field, and 5 have a PhD or MD. They come from very diverse academic backgrounds -- not just business, engineering, math, computer science, statistics, and economics, but also anthropology, clinical research, medicine, psychology, religion, etc. Give us anyone with the right ability, and we'll teach them the skills they need to be an outstanding analytics professional! On that note, we'd like to ask you to consider pointing your top analytics- interested students in our direction. If you or they have any questions about Georgia Tech's MS in Analytics, we'd be happy to be answer them. Thanks very much!
