More Data More Depth
The data analytics field is rapidly expanding, and skilled individuals are in high demand. Projections are that this demand will continue into 2030 and beyond. The emergence and rapid development of Generative AI means that employers are looking to utilize new skills to maximize on results. A 2024 report by Quantum Black AI by McKinsey highlights that organizations are looking for employees who can not only utilize the off-the-shelf tools but also “significantly [customize] models or develop their own” and that “competitive advantage comes from building organizational and technological capabilities to broadly innovate, deploy, and improve solutions at scale.” These skills will be in high demand for employers across a wide number of industries in the coming years.
The Tufts Data Analytics program is designed to develop flexible leaders with advanced data analytical skills, who will be able to apply an in-depth knowledge of statistics, probability, and data analysis across a broad range of fields. As generative AI and natural language processing continue to shape the field of Data Analytics, the program has also expanded its curriculum to ensure students have access to the methods and resources they need to meet the growing demand for AI-based skills. We offer a master's program with electives that allow students to expand their knowledge and skills within a chosen field, and to develop the professional skills in communication, data visualization and critical thinking that employers seek. We also offer four certificates in data analytics and related fields.
The Data Analytics program is supported by an Advisory Board of practicing experts, who help to ensure the curriculum provides you with the skills and knowledge that are needed to be successful in the field. Tufts faculty and staff have strong relationships with employers across industries and around the world. Your mentors, career officers, and faculty will make sure you have access to the competitive field experiences that often lead to full-time employment.
By engaging in active dialogue and stimulating coursework, you'll do more than just ask big questions. Your distinguished professors will also help you answer them, as you turn your inspiration into mastery and achieve your intellectual and professional goals.
