Program Features

• Innovative Curriculum: The MSA program’s coursework offers a blend of both statistics and business courses designed to create value in the student’s organization as well as personally. The curriculum focuses on database management, statistical modeling, computer programming, machine learning, neural networks, marketing engineering, accounting, and finance. In addition to the technical skills, the program also offers coursework in leadership and communication.
• Work-based Capstone Project: An individual project where students apply what they have learned in order to solve a business problem within their organization. If a student can’t secure a dataset with their organization, there are options available to meet this requirement, please visit with program staff to find out more.
• Real-world applications: The classes include a variety of activities. They include peer discussions, case studies, group projects, and rich discussions with the faculty that are designed to help gain skills that the students can immediately apply to their organizations.
• Face-to-face and live video streaming: Our cohorts work together and are a part of the same class. The MSA program doesn’t separate online students from the in-class students. Our video delivery is a live broadcast of the classes. Every class day, all members of the cohort come together to learn. The program has created an equal learning for distance and face-to-face students and creates a unique learning environment for both. Approximately 50% of the students join the program remotely.
• Connection to a global network: Our students and graduates can tap into the Aggie Network, which is comprised of almost 400,000 former students who live around the world. This invaluable resource can help MSA students identify job opportunities and business partnerships.
