There are currently two schools in the state of Connecticut offering online master’s in analytics programs: Central Connecticut State University (CCSU), and Quinnipiac University. Both programs are classified as online master’s in data analytics programs by OnlineEducation.com. CCSU’s program requires one campus visit, while the program offered by Quinnipiac University is 100% online and does not require any campus visits.

The Department of Mathematical Sciences at CCSU offers an online Master of Science in Data Mining degree that includes coursework in statistical modeling, advanced database and data collection technologies, and the proficiencies outlined by the Cross-Industry Standard Process for Data Mining. The program requires students to complete eight courses in data mining and analytics subject areas, followed by a master’s thesis project. Students must then present the findings of their master’s thesis at an on-campus session that is usually held during the final semester of study.

CCSU’s online master’s in data analytics program utilizes asynchronous instruction, which allows students to access videotaped lectures and other course materials on-demand, 24-7. It is designed for part-time enrollment and can be completed in 20-36 months by students who take one or two course each semester. The program accepts new applicants three times a year, in the fall, spring, and summer.

The School of Business at Quinnipiac University offers an online Master of Science in Business Analytics that focuses on the application of data technologies and analytics techniques in the business world.
