The Georgetown University Masters in Business Analytics is another great specialized masters offering that the university has. I wrote about this program a couple of years ago (way too long) and they recently published their first placement report. Great results and I thought I would use this as an opportunity to update all of you on the program as well. Enjoy!

Class Profile
This was the class profile included with the placement results. Helpful to give some guidance on who gets into this program.
- Class Size – 99 Students
- Work Experience – 5.6 years on average
- Male/Female – 65% / 35%
- Average Age – 30
This is program skews older and with more work experience, which makes sense as this is an online program flexibility for working professionals.
For a very new program the placements and salary data is strong. I would only expect this to get better as time goes on and the program matures.
