Can I analyze your data: UM’s new data analytics masters

We live in a web of data. Our food is grown with the help of data gathered by farming machines and weather readers. Doctors are using data to prescribe medicine and treatments that actually work, because results are data-backed. The government uses data to find and prevent fraud. Concert traffic is routed to get people in and out of stadiums quickly using data. Data is transforming almost every sector of life and work.

With all this data around us we need someone to read it. That is where University of Montana’s new masters of business analytics comes into play. The one-to-two-year master’s program will start fall 2016 and already has 14 students enrolled, with more in the advising process.
