Overview

Data analysis can be used to enhance productivity and increase profits, target medicines and treatments, optimize resource utilization, fight climate change, improve food production, and much more.

Students will learn to understand and apply the foundational concepts and methodologies that constitute data analytics from basic statistics to data visualization to machine learning for descriptive and predictive purposes. This program prepares students to work across diverse industries and organizations. For International students enrolled in these programs, Curricular Practical Training – CPT – will be available for eligible required internships / work placement.

Hybrid Delivery

The program is delivered in a hybrid format in which students complete the program in five terms, with online work during the semester and a three-day on campus residency each semester. Students must attend all residencies to continue enrollment in the program. Please note: Executive programs are a mix of asynchronous and synchronous classes through June 2023.  On campus residencies will resume beginning the Summer of 2023.

Additional Information

A virtual orientation session to cover immigration issues, academics, login processes, and billing and payments and to provide an opportunity to meet the faculty and staff of NEC will take place a week before the term starts. Admitted students will receive the link to access the orientation session.

The program follows a five-term structure. In the period before and after the residencies, students will complete their course work online. Instructors will maintain regular “virtual” office hours and will be available to assist students as required throughout the term.

An internship is required each semester, starting in the first semester, regardless of your citizenship status or visa status. Internship is an integral part of the Executive program.

Prerequisites

• Applicant should have general knowledge of IT systems and processes and a basic understanding of relational database applications (or permission of Program Director).
• You have completed a U.S. master’s degree*
• You will be eligible for an internship/job in the U.S.

Attendance Policy

Due to the hybrid nature of our residency model, online attendance is required each week of the term. This means that students will not be allowed to register after the official term start date.

In person attendance, on campus in New Hampshire, will be mandatory when we resume the residency weekend sessions. These sessions are an exciting and valuable component to the curriculum.
