Courses

The M.S. in Advanced Data Analytics is a 30-hour degree, consisting of 7 core courses (21 hrs) and 3 electives (9 hrs).

The accelerated online option provides five start times per year: Fall Semester–August and October; Spring Semester–January and March; and Summer Semester–June. All of our core courses are offered in 8-week sessions during the fall, spring, and summer semesters. We also offer many of our courses during the summer session. For students that want the in-class experience, our core courses are offered at our UNT at Frisco campus and the main campus in Denton in a hybrid format spanning the traditional 16-week semester in the fall and spring. Hybrid courses are a combination of in-class and online curriculum delivery. Regardless of the delivery format a student chooses, they will receive the same course content. By choosing the accelerated online course format, students can complete their degree in as few as 12 months.

Data Analytics Microcourses:

A new online learning option, providing a manageable pace towards a credential for those already balancing demanding work-life obligations. These 4-week courses cover one-third of the content of a full semester course. Three microcourses stack into a three credit hour course and multiple courses can be stacked into a data analytics certificate. After completing 5 graduate courses in as few as 7 months, learners can earn an academic certificate and then need just 5 more courses to earn a master’s degree. After completing 5 undergraduate courses, learners earn an academic certificate, which can be a standalone certificate or part of an undergraduate degree such as the UNT Bachelor of Applied Arts and Science degree. Earning a data analytics academic certificate or a degree from UNT is a great way to demonstrate your expertise and advance your career!
