Transform your business. In our information-saturated world, where companies gather a lifetime of material on customers in a heartbeat, businesses must harness the potential of data and turn it into a competitive advantage.
Moving beyond simple data analysis, the Master of Science in Analytics program from the McCormick School of Engineering and Applied Science at Northwestern University equips students with the technical knowledge and business acumen necessary for translating complex data sets into meaningful information. These insights are vital to making intelligent business decisions and increasing the bottom line.
Program Features
Business
Students integrate strong judgement, communication, and management skills into their work.
Data Engineering and IT
Students learn how to build end-to-end cloud solutions, train in Java, Javascript, Python, and R, preparing them for high-tech roles.
Data Science
Students explore all three areas of data analysis—predictive (forecasting), descriptive (business intelligence and data mining), and prescriptive (optimization and simulation), using industry-leading tools such as Spark, TensorFlow, AWS, SQL, Hadoop, Hive, Tableau, and D3.
I had an amazing experience working with the Northwestern team. It was not an easy problem to solve and the team put in a lot of hard work and effort to develop a compelling business solution.

Ways to Partner with MSiA
Partner on Projects
Twice in the curriculum, students engage in applied projects provided directly from the industry. Working under the guidance of business and technical advisers, each team of approximately four students works to provide the most effective and efficient solution for the client while crafting demonstrable evidence of their analytics skills. Practicum projects are expected to last eight months. Capstone projects are expected to last ten weeks.
Sponsor an Event
Industry leaders visit Northwestern to guest lecture in a class about a topic or issue in which they have particular experience. For students, opportunities to interact with established professionals in these settings are of immense value. Organizations and individuals may speak at and participate in seminars and workshops hosted at Northwestern University by the Master of Science in Analytics program. This series fosters cross-industry dialogue to explore best practices, recent innovations, and common problems in analytics.
