Master of Science in Informatics
The Master of Science in Informatics program is designed to provide professionals with advanced education in data analytics, information acquisition and management, and research techniques. The concentration in quantitative economics provides practical skills in data science and economic research. The program is available to students to complete entirely online, and many courses are available in a “hybrid” setting where students can interact online or attend the on-campus class.
The M.S. in Informatics is a 36 credit hour program which consists of a 15 credit hour interdisciplinary core where students from various concentrations come together to learn database design, information retrieval, programming, and work on research projects in a capstone seminar course. The quantitative economics concentration provides the foundations in graduate level understanding of econometrics – the statistical methods used in economics – as well as an assortment of seminar courses that challenge students to understand, replicate, and design research in a variety of economic fields.
