If you have wondered why airline prices change every hour, how Netflix recommends the movie you want to see or how Facebook finds the stories that interest you most, then you have seen the power of analytics.

SLU’s master’s in applied analytics is a 36-hour program designed for working professionals who want to pursue a master's degree while maintaining part- or full-time employment. Courses are offered online in eight-week terms.

Each course involves recorded video lectures, accessible 24/7, as well as the completion of weekly assignments and term projects. You’ll also participate in weekly online interactive sessions and collaborative discussion forums moderated by the instructor. To ensure individual attention and mentoring by our distinguished faculty, your courses will never have more than 20 students.

A unique aspect of the M.S. in applied analytics program is the ability to earn a graduate certificate that complements your master’s degree, often without taking additional credit hours. This allows you to tailor the program to your specific interests.

As a student in our program, you will join a community of academics and practitioners from around the world, giving you the opportunity to learn from and network with your peers. Our students represent a wide range of academic and professional backgrounds.
