The field of Educational Data Analytics focuses on data analytics to improve student success, educational development, and course design. The U.S. Department of Education began an initiative to collect, analyze, and promote the use of high-quality data to support policymaking, demographic research, and resource accessibility within the educational system. Since then, using big data in this environment has shown increasing progress as well as a need for professionals who can perform this analysis research. Predictive modeling, adaptive learning, decision management, comprehensive assessments, and learner engagement are all forms of innovation made possible through educational data analytics. This degree provides a path for education and administrative professionals to be at the forefront of managing these areas.
All required courses are offered exclusively online in a 16-week asynchronous format.
