Master of Science - MS Data Analytics University of Illinois Springfield

The M.S. in Data Analytics aims at providing an interdisciplinary approach to data analytics that covers both the foundational mathematical knowledge of data science and the computational methods and tools for preprocessing, interpreting, analyzing, representing, and visualizing data sets. The degree is offered in both on-campus and online* formats. Applications are accepted each spring and fall semester. The Data Analytics program may, at its own discretion, accept new students in the summer semester, and consider accepting students under conditional admission, thereby allowing students to take classes at UIS to complete the program's entrance requirements. Upon the completion of all entrance requirements, the student will be fully admitted.

In 1960, a group of central Illinois citizens, united in their goal of bringing a four-year university to the capital city, formed the Springfield Committee for Higher Education.

Legislation creating Sangamon State University (SSU) was signed in 1969. The first classes were held in 1970, which is considered the founding year of SSU.

Sangamon State University was acquired by the University of Illinois in 1995 , and became known as the University of Illinois Springfield (UIS).

They’re proud to be one of three universities in the world-class University of Illinois System.

Every year, approximately 4,000 students enroll here to earn a U of I degree - where classes aren’t too big or too small, and professors really know their students. They have over 50 years of empowering leaders and look forward to having you join us.

They are dedicated to fully engaging students in the process of active teaching and learning, and offer degree-granting programs in four colleges.
