Nearly Half of WGU Master's in Data Analytics Students Don’t Need Loans to Pay for School

At WGU, we aim to make quality higher education more accessible for more people. One way we do this is by charging flat-rate tuition and letting you take as many courses as you can complete in a six-month term at no extra cost. The faster you finish your M.S. Data Analytics program, the more money you’ll save. We also incorporate certification prep and exams into your coursework to save even more. The program is fully online with no set log in times or test dates, so you can do your coursework anytime, anywhere.

  • Our M.S. Data Analytics program includes award-winning courses designed with employer input.
  • WGU’s low, flat-rate tuition makes investing in a degree worth it. WGU students see their degree pay for itself much faster than other online universities. The M.S. Data Analytics program is $4,565 per six-month term.
  • Earn relevant data analytics certificates such as Data PreparationData Analytics Fundamentals, and Advanced Data Modeling with this degree.
  • Choose from three data analytics specializations—data science, data engineering, or decision process engineering—to forge new pathways to success.
  • Flexible scheduling and no class times. WGU degree programs are 100% online, with no specific class times. This means you can work on your degree anywhere, at any time. This allows you to keep working, fulfill family responsibilities, and more.

Gain Deeper Insights into Data Analytics

In order to maximize our graduates' chances at success, WGU has revamped the M.S. Data Analytics program. Students will continue to learn the foundational courses within this program; however, once they finish those courses, they will choose between three specializations to complete the remaining credits of their degree. These specializations are data science, data engineering, and decision process engineering.

By specializing in one of these three fields, graduates can elevate their competencies in data analytics and unlock new career opportunities.
