Virtually everything that we interact with in our lives is driven by or generates some form of data. The dramatic increase in data is the driving force behind innovation, invention, and business efficiencies. This data explosion has resulted in the need to take raw, unorganized data and not only process it but also present it in a meaningful way so that it is insightful and actionable. From infographics and geographic representations to interactive visualizations that assist in decision-making, there’s a growing need for professionals who can present information in a format that is both easy to understand and provides value. Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA) developed the Master of Professional Studies (M.P.S.) in Data Analytics and Visualization program to teach professionals how to represent information and data in a visual and impactful way with the use of graphics, images, and dynamic interactive features. In this program, you will develop design expertise and analytical skills that are in increasing demand in our data-driven world. According to the recent LinkedIn “Jobs on the Rise” report, data science specialists are some of the most in demand and fastest-growing jobs, reflecting about a 35% average annual growth rate. The Data Analytics and Visualization program is an online, cohort based graduate program where all coursework is directly related to this expanding field. Completed in just 15 months, the program allows you to earn your degree while working full time. You will explore both the design and technical aspects of information visualization while learning to create powerful, data-driven visual narratives. You will master an array of information visualization practices including employing qualitative and quantitative analysis and applying storytelling methods to data and information, and utilizing design strategies to develop a visual narrative.
