Western University Master of Data Analytics (MDA) Professional Program

Welcome! We are happy to introduce Western University's Master of Data Analytics program to potential future students!

Western Science has responded to the call for highly qualified personnel in data analytics through the establishment of the Masters of Data Analytics (MDA) program, a professional science master's program comprised of 8-months in-class, followed by a four-month experiential learning opportunity, which in most cases will be a paid experience working in an industry, where students take the technical skills they have developed over the past eight months and apply them in an organizational setting. 
 

Designed to produce professionals ready to start an analytics-focused career, the MDA program provides students with the core training they need to work in a professional setting while allowing them to customize their experience by choosing a learning path tailored to their interest in a specialty field. These tracks cater to students who are interested in 

• Finance, Banking, and Insurance: For those who want to  understand risk management at banks, including its drivers and implementation strategies, and its specific regulatory pressures
• Generalist: For those who want an understanding of how data analytics applies to interdisciplinary challenges
• Artificial Intelligence: For students with a background in computer science
