THE MASTER OF ARTS DEGREE

MA in Social Data Analysis
(Note: As of Fall 2014 there are no new admissions to this program.)

Private and public sector organizations are in constant need of institutional, market and population research. They regularly encounter data that cannot be easily summarized and put into practice. They require skilled individuals who can analyze information, draw conclusions and suggest practical implications and policies. This one-year, three semester course-based Master’s program responds to this growing demand for highly qualified data analysts who can work with complex data sets, draw conclusions and make recommendations for policy.
