Program Availability
M.S. Information Technology - Data Analytics Focus
Get in-demand skills by earning a master’s in information technology
Throughout Franklin’s M.S. in Information Technology program, you’ll build a strong foundation in IT with courses in network security, database management, information systems management, website development, and IT strategy and policy. You can expect this knowledge growth to improve your marketability, as demand for information technology professionals is projected to grow 16% through 2031.*
Moreover, as workplaces lean on the capabilities of cross-disciplinary teams, the role of the technologist becomes even more strategic and collaborative. Franklin’s program provides the opportunity for you to build the communication, presentation and analytical skills to boost your professional skillset.
Three 12-week data analytics courses prepare you to create powerful visualizations, mine data to identify patterns and make forecasts, and use statistical reasoning to inform decision making.
Demonstrate your proficiency with industry-standard tools and technology
Make the most of your time and your tuition with Franklin’s Graduate Certificate in Data Analytics, which is embedded into your master’s program. Certificate coursework boosts your knowledge of statistics, databases, data visualization, data mining and big data technologies using high-demand tools such as R and Tableau. Moreover, if becoming a certified Tableau user is part of your professional development plan, completion of Data Visualization & Reporting (DATA 605), a course aligned with the Tableau Desktop Certification exam, will set you up for success.
Build on what you know and finish your master's in IT with a focus in data analytics faster
You can transfer up to 12 credits – a 30% cost savings – toward your degree, through certifications, previous coursework or a combination.
Because the M.S in IT-Data Analytics coursework is aligned with industry competencies, you can get credit toward the degree for prior learning. A current (ISC)2 CISSP certification has been evaluated to be equivalent to Information Assurance (ISEC 610), which translates into 4 credit hours toward your degree and $2,680 in tuition savings.
If you have taken graduate-level IT courses, Franklin offers course-for-course credit to satisfy elective and core course requirements. To see if your previous coursework can be used to satisfy degree requirements, you’ll need to submit a transcript as well as a syllabus for the course(s) you’d like to have evaluated for transfer credit. Your admissions advisor will be happy to assist you in any way.
Choose an online IT master’s degree that’s built for busy adults
As an accredited, nonprofit university, our focus at Franklin is on you. Our team of academic advisors will help ease your transition to becoming a student, while our flexible course schedules and 100% online coursework help to balance your education with work, family and life.
Students rate our faculty members as top-notch for the real-world expertise they are able to bring to the coursework. When you need help, your instructor is just a phone call or email away. You can also rely on support resources from the Learning Commons, like workshops, tutoring sessions and library services. Get started on your future today.
