Minerva University

Be a leader that people follow.

In our increasingly complex and interconnected world, the need for effective decision-making in any organization is more critical than ever before. Minerva University has developed two unique graduate programs designed specifically to prepare twenty-first-century global leaders to tackle complex challenges and make consequential decisions.

Designed to impart critical leadership skills, Minerva’s Graduate Decision Analysis programs emphasize critical thinking, analysis, problem-solving, and practical decision-making. Our curriculum teaches learners how to identify the right problem, apply systems thinking and problem-solving frameworks, design research that tests hypotheses, interpret complex data, identify rational interpretations, devise potential solutions, evaluate the implications of those choices, and more.

As part of Minerva University’s innovative and part-time graduate programs, you will attend small, interactive classes in a synchronous virtual environment from wherever you are. The 21-month, part-time, online Master of Science in Decision Making and Applied Analytics (MDA) is designed to impart advanced leadership skills, with an emphasis on critical thinking, analysis, problem-solving, and evidence-based decision-making. The 12-month, part-time, online Certificate in Decision Making and Applied Analytics (CDA) covers the first year of MDA curriculum for those seeking to level up their skills for immediate impact.
