We just attended the analytics conference of INFORMS' (The Institute for Operations Research and the Management Sciences) this week in Baltimore, and they held a special meeting for directors of academic analytics programs to better align what universities are producing with what industry is seeking. The number of such programs is still growing rapidly (>200), and demand for the available slots is strong. I spoke with representatives from a number of such programs.
By and large, the fees they charge range from above $20,000 to over $50,000. Certificate programs from the Institute for Statistics Education offer roughly the same scope and range of instruction (assessed at just under 30 credits by the American Council on Education), at a small fraction of the price - $5000. The courses are 4-weeks long, start throughout the year, and feature small classes where you interact with your instructor (a noted expert in the field) on a regular basis. Our online certificate Programs in Analytics and Statistical Studies(PASS) are available in four areas:
You can start at any time; you can also take a course or two first, then join. Apply at any time - there's no fee.
