Description

In today's world of constant streaming data and quick decisions, Clemson University recognized the need for individuals that are trained in both Business Management and Analytics with an emphasis in Applied Statistics. The goal of our program is to create graduates that can use statistical reasoning to help motivate business decisions. Our path to creating this program included research on other master's programs and conversations with industry professionals on the needs in the workforce. The resulting online Masters in Data Science and Analytics that began in the summer of 2020, is now a top 5 nationally ranked program. In this talk we will discuss how we developed the program, what makes this program unique, and what have we learned along the way.
