Navigating MIT Sloan: The Experience of a Student, Veteran, and Parent

Sloan and Sports

Jason Rehhaut

Apr 10, 2019

“What do you think about the Bryce Harper signing with the Phillies?” I asked Mike Petriello, current Stats Analyst for Major League Baseball and podcast host and former writer for baseball analytics website Fangraphs.com.

This is why I signed up to be part of the Organizing Committee for the MIT Sloan Sports Analytics Conference . An avid reader of Fangraphs since college, I loved the quantitative analysis of sports, especially baseball. With this opportunity, I was able to geek out with someone whose views I respected and share a room with the likes of Adam Silver, Jeannie Buss, Paul Pierce, and Michael Lewis.

As a former auditor and management consultant with Deloitte for 6 years, my decision to attend business school was not an easy one. I had great momentum in my job as a Senior Consultant, yet I knew I wanted to shore up skills I found lacking in my toolbox. I sought a general management business school experience to supplement my liberal arts undergraduate education that incorporated a quantitative and analytical focus. Additionally, because I considered sports fandom my side job, I longed for the opportunity to break into the sports industry and turn my “side job” into a full-time career.

When I made the decision to apply to business school, MIT Sloan was number one on list. It checked the box for the type of education and experiences I was searching for. With a rich alumni base in sports and an easy opportunity to make connections in the industry through the conference, I knew Sloan would be the right platform to jump-start the process.

I began my quest to be an Organizing Committee member as soon as I stepped foot on campus. I met with multiple second year students, some of whom were on the Leadership Team this year and some who were not, to discuss their experiences and determine how to get involved. These conversations helped me steer my organizing committee application in some ways I was not expecting, and I ended up being chosen as a member of the Content Team.

Though there are multiple ways to get involved with the Conference, my specific responsibilities included owning two panels and co-leading the Competitive Advantage (“CA”) talks. There are roughly forty of these CAs over the two-day Conference. Each one consisting of a 25 minute deep dive into one particular topic. One individual working for a team, league, or company in the sports industry presents. As a reference point, the VP of Strategy for a Major League Baseball team presented his analysis of the types of social media posts that drive fan engagement across multiple social media platforms. The Chief Operating Office of another Major League Baseball team reviewed the market research performed that led to the development of his team’s membership-based season ticket program. In my role, I brainstormed potential topics and coordinated with about twenty different speakers, including the two above, working across various sports entities from the planning stages through the end of the Conference. These interactions not only helped me develop organic relationships with some of the speakers that still continue to this day but also helped me learn more about the industry that I used in my internship search.

I was also able to leverage my role on the Organizing Committee to set up meetings with various professionals across different teams and leagues during the Conference. The purpose of these meetings ranged from reconnecting with those I had spoken with in the past to learning more about how different teams and leagues are tackling their problems all the way to discussing potential internship opportunities. All of the meetings were a success in that I developed a new connection and learned something new about the industry. One meeting in particular ultimately led to my summer internship, which consists of me assisting Major League Baseball with their content strategy.

All in all, my time working on and attending the Conference was very similar to my time at Sloan in general. The Conference exceeded my expectations in every way imaginable, and I am looking forward to co-leading it next year!

On This Page:

Are you a sports fan with a knack for crunching numbers? Considering a career in sports analytics but need help figuring out where to start? This guide exists to help you explore the popular field of sports analytics. Below, we list schools with relevant programs, including quantitative sports business, sports performance analytics, sports science analytics, exercise analytics, and more. Jump into our listings to find a sports analytics degree and kickstart your career.

What is Sports Analytics?

Sports analytics involves the application of data analytics tools & techniques to sports-related data. Famously, sport analytics has been used to analyze player & team performance—the Moneyball approach that makes the best of your players’ strengths (e.g. on-base percentages) and compensates for their weaknesses. This is often called on-field analytics .

But sports data reaches far beyond the boundaries of the playing field. Sports organizations and entertainment companies are also deeply invested in metrics like ticket & merchandise sales, social engagement, fan acquisition, sponsorship & advertising spends, marketing campaigns, and more. This is usually called off-field analytics . And it’s where a great deal of revenue is being generated.

What Does a Degree in Sports Analytics Look Like?

Sports analytics degree pathways.

Sports analytics professionals come at the field from all kinds of directions:

  • Data Analytics: Lots of folks decide to earn a bachelor’s degree in data analytics, data science, computer science, or statistics and focus on sports analytics with electives & minors.
  • Business Analytics: Some start by majoring in business at the undergraduate level and then opt to pursue a graduate degree in analytics.
  • Sports Analytics: Others bite the bullet and specialize in sports analytics or sports performance & analytics early.

Read up on the job market before you make a decision! Data-focused roles in sports can be highly competitive. On top of your degree, you’ll need a focused portfolio, relevant internships & work experiences, and strong networking connections to attract the attention of major league employers. Ask yourself:

  • Do I want to commit 100% to sports analytics or leave my options open for better paying roles in tech, business, and finance?
  • Could I get into an analytics or data science program at a top-tier university and customize the curriculum to suit my interests in sports?
  • If it’s a sports analytics degree or nothing, am I choosing the right school ?

If you already have a bachelor’s in a technical field, you may not require a master’s in sports analytics to break into the industry. Create your own sports-focused projects. Earn some industry certifications . Enter competitions like the Big Data Bowl. Think about a graduate certificate . Many roads lead to the Colosseum.

How to Choose a School

Although there are plenty of big names in our sports analytics listings (e.g. University of Notre Dame), we also recommend you skim through listings of standard degrees in data analytics and business analytics . This will give you the full picture of what’s available. Whatever the major, look for schools that:

  • Excel in computer science, analytics & statistics—these will be the bedrock of your work
  • Employ faculty in Athletics & Sports Science Departments who love using data
  • Support collegiate sports teams
  • Fund research institutes that are devoted to sports data
  • Host sports analytics hackathons
  • Encourage student sports analytics clubs
  • Sponsor trips to MIT Sloan and other important analytics events
  • Provide opportunities to work with sports organizations on data projects & internships
  • Have an excellent track record of job placements for analytics graduates

You’ll end up with plenty of exciting choices. For example, the University of Michigan doesn’t have a specific degree in sports analytics, but it does have a Wolverine Sports Analytics student organization, a sturdy Master of Business Analytics (MBAn) , and undergraduate programs in Sport Management . Step back and see the whole field.

Sports Analytics Coursework & Requirements

Admissions requirements for sports analytics majors.

To make your life a little easier, we’ve included links to admissions requirements in our listings . Even if you don’t meet the GPA requirements, talk to the program coordinator. You may be able to prove your passion through work experience and industry projects.

Undergraduate

For a bachelor’s degree in sports analytics, universities will expect to see your high school transcript. You may also be required to provide academic recommendations from your teachers. ACT & SAT scores are often optional, but check our admissions links to be sure.

Typical requirements for a master’s degree in sports analytics include a bachelor’s degree from a regionally accredited college or university, a minimum undergraduate GPA (e.g. 3.0), a current résumé, 2-3 letters of recommendation, and a statement of your goals.

  • GRE or GMAT scores may or may not be required—it depends on the school. For example, Marquette only needs to see GRE scores if your GPA is below 3.0.
  • Most schools will be looking for some experience in statistics & quantitative ideas. For example, Miami U wants to see evidence of college-level coursework in statistics, predictive analytics, programming languages, and college-level mathematics (calculus & algebra). But you’ll be able to take prerequisite undergraduate courses if you need them.

Sample Coursework for Sports Analytics Majors

Sports analytics is a new’ish major, so schools are experimenting with the structure of the degree. Use the curriculum links in our listings to get a sense of what we mean. For instance, if the university has a great School of Business, the degree might focus on topics like sports & entertainment marketing, business analytics, and the business of sports. Everyone is playing to their strengths.

Bachelor’s degrees in sports analytics usually contain a mix of business & technical subjects. Always check the title—BSBA programs will lean more toward corporate concerns; BS programs will usually have a lot more coursework in statistics, computing, math, and advanced analytics.

To get you started, here’s a hypothetical example of a 120-credit Bachelor of Science in Sports Analytics:

  • General Education (GE) Requirements: Lower division coursework in social sciences (e.g. microeconomics), humanities/foreign languages, natural sciences, and liberal arts. Schools will often want you to earn credits in communication.
  • College-Level Mathematics: Expect to take 100- and 200-level courses in statistics and calculus before moving up to more advanced topics (e.g. linear regression).
  • Analytics & Computing Topics: You’ll be able to tackle data analytics subjects like programming with R & Python, data visualization, data management, and research & experimental design through the lens of sports. Some schools will take it up a notch with more advanced data science work.
  • Sports & Business Subjects: As you move into your junior & senior years, you may also be exposed to ideas around sports management, sports performance, and sports economics. As we mentioned, some schools will go hard on business topics.

Master’s degrees in sports analytics follow the lead of their department. Some are offered by the College of Business; others are spearheaded by the School of Computing. In our listings , you’ll see graduate degrees that mix data analytics & data science concepts with business, sport performance, exercise, and sports media.

  • Career Changers: Some sports analytics graduate programs are designed for folks who want to get into the field. So they’re covering fundamentals like data visualization, coding in R and Python, and Machine Learning (ML).
  • Advanced Learners: Other MS in Sports Analytics programs allow you to go farther in your technical explorations (e.g. deep learning neural networks) and specialize in specific areas (e.g. sport gambling & analytics).

Make sure you talk to the program coordinator about your current skill level and job goals. Then ask for a list of recent alumni job placements. That will tell you if you’re aiming too high or too low.

You’ll also need to decide if you’re interested in research work or more corporate roles. Research-focused programs may offer you the option to write a thesis. Other programs will end with an industry-focused capstone project that you can include as an element in your résumé.

Can You Earn a Sports Analytics Degree Online?

Yes. You’ll find a number of online sports analytics degrees in our listings —look for the “Offered Online” tag. The vast majority of them will be 100% online, but it’s always best to check. Some schools may expect you to visit the campus for one-off events (e.g. orientation) or exams. You’ll also need to know if the program is offered in an asynchronous, “learn on your own time” format or if it contains synchronous, “real-time” classes.

  • Undergraduate Advice: Online learning has become more commonplace since the COVID-19 pandemic, but we’d caution you against earning an Online BS in Sports Analytics. It’s a niche degree for a cutthroat field. In a distance format, you won’t have the opportunity to work with professors on sports industry projects, participate in sports analytics student club activities & hackathons, and volunteer to help your school’s sports teams.
  • Graduate Advice: Online graduate degrees & certificates in sports analytics may be more acceptable for employers—especially if you’re already working in a data-focused job. Before you commit, ask about the logistics. What kinds of analytics software will you use (and will you have to pay for it)? How do online students access real-world data sets? Are there opportunities to collaborate with other online students or professors? Can you take advantage of career & networking resources?

What Can You Do with a Sports Analytics Degree?

What does a job in sports analytics look like.

There’s no simple answer to this question—data-focused jobs in sports can be all over the show. The Moneyball scenario is only one small part of the industry. Reddit threads are full of other intriguing career stories & examples. In general, you’re going to be looking at two avenues after graduation:

  • Sports-Focused Analytics Jobs: People in these “front office” jobs use data to help sports teams and leagues win more games, improve their athletic performance, hone their coaching & scouting techniques, and the like. Pay is often low, hours can be long & strange (night games, anyone?), and job competition is fierce . To put it bluntly, there are far too many people applying for too few positions.
  • Sports-Adjacent Analytics Jobs: You’ll find more openings for “back office” analytics jobs that deal with the business of sports. Think of data-hungry fields like sports marketing, advertising, media, ticket & merchandise sales (e.g. Ticketmaster). Analytics pros also find jobs in sports medicine and health informatics. Or they work for sports gambling & betting organizations. Or they help build software products, websites & apps for sports organizations (e.g. Sidearm).

Establish where your strengths lie and chat to current professionals before you make any decisions. Because there’s such a huge supply of job candidates, the phrase “overqualified and underpaid” is thrown around a lot in sports analytics circles. If you want to get involved on the performance side, you should be ready for a passion position that’s not going to pay as well as other fields. You may also be limiting your future career path by specializing early.

Sports Analytics Internships & Fellowships

One of the best ways to get your foot in the door for a sports analytics job is to volunteer for a team—collegiate, amateur, or minor league. You don’t have to go full “Bill James” (unless you want to). You just need opportunities to build up your analytics portfolio. If you’re interested in sports marketing, launch a few campaigns & critique the results. If you have a passion for performance, ask the athletes to start feeding you data.

Some schools are really proactive when it comes to sports analytics internships. They’ll connect you to major league teams in your area or facilitate projects with collegiate leagues. One undergraduate senior from MIT found himself interning for the New England Patriots. If you’re having trouble finding opportunities, we’ve included links to options below. This is just the start—there are a lot more out there!

5 Key Career Tips from the Pros

We canvassed the industry to find out what sports analytics experts had to say about the job market. Here are their top 5 tips condensed into one easy list:

  • Create a Sports-Focused Analytics Portfolio: And get your projects out there on Twitter, GitHub, Kaggle, and Reddit. In addition to working on technical projects for fellow data lovers, be sure to create data visualizations & presentations for non-technical users (e.g. coaches and executives).
  • Network Strategically: Attend the annual MIT Sloan conference and other key sports analytics events . Join your school’s sports analytics club. Get a team together for a hackathon. Connect with people you admire on LinkedIn. Networking is half the game in finding a sports job.
  • Amass Relevant Work Experience: Employers will be looking for technical prowess, passion, and subject-specific expertise on your résumé. You can prove your worth ahead of time by interning for local teams & amateur sports organizations and working on class projects in your chosen field.
  • Practice Your Communication Skills: The sports world is full of people who are suspicious of data. If you want to move up in the ranks or secure a top-paying consulting job, you need to be able to explain your findings to all kinds of audiences. Practice presenting at conferences, events, and clubs.
  • Learn the Dialect: Sports analytics may be part of data analytics, but it has its own unique vocabulary, tools, techniques, and models. It’s a little like learning a dialect for a language. Explore other people’s projects and become familiar with the lingo.

Salary Numbers for Sports Analytics Professionals

You can find ballpark figures for salaries (pardon the pun) by exploring BLS state & city wage data for Statisticians , Operations Research Analysts , and Data Scientists . Sports analytics jobs fall under all of these categories. Websites like Glassdoor will also give you salary estimates for some of the titles we’ve mentioned above.

For more insider info, check out Reddit threads on sports analytics jobs. That’s where you’ll find long discussions about why many data analytics & data science roles in sports don’t pay as well as roles in other sectors.

  • A lot of sports analytics applicants are willing to agree to lower salaries so they can work for their “passion.”
  • Improving a team’s performance is just one small part of a massive marketing & sales machine. And it may not do much to affect the bottom line.
  • Sports organizations are often very lean & money-conscious.

There are exceptions. Gambling tends to be lucrative (no surprise) and experienced sports consultants can command a healthy price for their analytics services.

We're a subreddit for quantitative nerds who love sports. Our goal is to showcase and discuss interesting links regarding the use of data and analytics in sports. Think of us like /r/sabermetrics, but not specific to baseball. We have a preference for articles that show their work, especially if they include links to their source data.

Wharton Sports Analytics Journal

Our mission is to provide a platform for students to showcase their innovative research, empirical studies, and theoretical contributions, promoting critical thinking, intellectual growth, and scholarly engagement within the realm of sports analytics., from the editor.

Dear Friends and Readers,

I’m excited to share the latest edition of the Wharton Sports Analytics Journal, featuring projects from students at universities and high schools across the country.

Once again, this edition features work in major US sports, but also research into mental health, field hockey, and connecting sports with portfolio theory. We hope that this is becoming a core part of our identity – we welcome and encourage research into a wide range of topics, methodologies, and backgrounds.

As the inaugural Editor-in-Chief of the Wharton Sports Analytics Journal, I am incredibly proud of what our team has accomplished over the past two editions – establishing this publication as a premier destination for undergraduate and high school research. I am thrilled to hand the reins over to our next Editor-in-Chief, Katherine Comer W’26 , and watch the new heights she will take us to.

Looking forward, I’d like to invite any high school, undergraduate or graduate student doing research in sports analytics to submit to the journal – we are already accepting submissions for our Fall 2024 edition.

Until then, we hope you enjoy reading and learning from these exceptional projects as much as we enjoyed reviewing them. Please let us know your thoughts and feedback as we strive to bring you the best of sports analytics and statistics.

About the Sport Psychology Program

Woman sitting with a laptop on her lap in a library

Currently, the Sport Psychology program maintains a strong interdisciplinary focus, so that students have the freedom to draw from various disciplines both within and outside of Kinesiology. For example, graduate students have drawn from the areas of Sport Sociology, Cultural Studies, Women's Studies, Exercise Physiology, Cognitive Psychology and Coaching/Pedagogy. Our diverse group of students come from a variety of cultural and academic backgrounds, and past masters degree recipients have gone on to successfully pursue doctoral degrees, as well as work in teaching, coaching and private business. Finally, graduate students now have the opportunity to conduct research in the newly created Department of Kinesiology Qualitative Research Lab, which is equipped with a variety of data collection and analysis materials.

In short, the nationally recognized faculty in the Sport Psychology program share a passion for both research and teaching, and look forward to helping both undergraduate and graduate students achieve their personal and academic goals, whatever they may be.

  • Ph.D. in Cultural Studies & Sport Psychology, University of Tennessee (2000)

I currently teach and conduct research in both applied sport psychology and critical sport sociology. I teach a variety of courses, including graduate courses in research methods (qualitative emphasis) and sport sociology, and undergraduate courses in psychology of coaching, diversity, stress, and health, and sport sociology. My recent research areas in sport psychology involve the intersection of applied sport psychology and critical sport sociology and cultural studies, athletes' use of music in sport, and I am currently finishing a study on college football players' experiences of friendships. Within the domain of sport and culture, my main emphasis is on the application of cyborg theory to sport, and the cultural meanings of professional wrestling. My recent publications have appeared in The Sport Psychologist, Sociology of Sport Journal, Journal of Sport and Social Issues, Journal of Sport Behavior, and Research in Philosophy and Technology. Finally, I have consulted with athletes in several sports, including men's and women's cross-country, football, men's golf, men's judo, women's water polo, and women's soccer. Outside my professional life, I was a member of the 1991 NCAA championship track and field team at Tennessee, and continue to pursue both competitive and recreational athletic endeavors.

I have mentored both masters and doctoral students at three different universities, and one of my doctoral students won the university wide award for the best dissertation of the year. My students have gone on for the Ph.D., or found positions in teaching, coaching, or private business. Outside of academics, I have been a competitive distance runner for over 40 years. Achievements include running the fastest 5K in the US within my age group in 1991, and winning the National Cross Country Championships in the seniors division in 1996.

Dr. Matthew A. Masucci

In my role as the Interdisciplinary Specialist in Sport Studies, I teach a variety of courses including Sport in America, Diversity, Stress, & Health, as well as Graduate Research Methods with a focus on qualitative methodologies. In general my research is interdisciplinary and involves the intersection of cultural studies, critical sport studies, philosophy, and sociology. Primarily my work has centered on the intersection of sport and narrative and the implications on both identity and moral choice making. My research has been published in the Journal of Sport and Social Issues, among others and I have recently presented research on the Tour de France and seven time Tour winner Lance Armstrong at international conferences. In the realm of sport studies, I am currently working on a critical, historical and political analysis of Mixed Martial Arts fighting. I have served on several sport psychology focused Master's thesis and I welcome the opportunity to bring my disciplinary perspective to our student's work. Beyond my scholarly activities, I enjoy participating in a host of outdoor activities including running, hiking and camping. In addition, I have been a competitive cyclist (road, track and mountain bike) for the better part of 20 years and still compete occasionally in multisport and cycling events.

Yet, the solid foundation from my coursework at Berkeley has been instrumental in guiding me through these challenges. These courses have not only prepared me to grapple with the intricacies of the real world but also instilled in me the ability to continually adapt and learn in the face of new challenges."

JACK O'DONOGHUE MANALYTICS '23

Is this program STEM-designated?

What is the difference between data science and analytics.

Data science and analytics although being interconnected in their fundamental resource, data, each have different goals. 

Data science focuses on big data and tackles challenges in data storage, retrieval, cleansing, preparation, mining, visualization, privacy, ethics, and analysis. Data scientists create and leverage algorithms to collect and shape large-scale raw data into something that can be more easily understood. Whereas analytics refers to the process and practice of analyzing data to answer questions, extract insights, and translate data into actionable decisions. This is done using an array of tools, techniques, and frameworks. Analytics professionals closely collaborate with data scientists and bridge the gap between data scientists and product/program managers.

In short, data science explores and tests new methods to store, use and interpret data, whereas analytics focuses on creating data-driven solutions to problems.

What is the difference between the Master of Engineering and the Master of Analytics program at UCB? Do any of these require more technical proficiency?  

While these two programs share some core technical courses, the IEOR Master of Engineering program prepares students for engineering leadership and offers a curriculum with a balance of management and technical content. On the other hand, the Master of Analytics focuses on building data-driven solutions for industry challenges. 

Master of Analytics students begin the program with a 50-hour Python programming language bootcamp, whereas Master of Engineering students begin the program with a pre-semester bootcamp on leadership. 

The Analytics program offers elective decision analytics courses with industry context in place of the Master of Engineering leadership courses. The Master of Analytics also offers an Analytics Lab – a project-oriented course for building analytics solutions in teams starting from raw data. IEOR’s Master of Engineering program focuses on engineering leadership. 

The Master of Analytics program includes a summer internship to help students gain hands-on experience instead of the two-semester Master of Engineering capstone project. 

Both programs have a quantitative curriculum, however, the Master of Engineering program may be a better fit for those more interested in developing leadership skills, while the Master of Analytics program may be a better option for those students with data and quantitative interests along with industry context.

What does the average student profile look like?

Please see our 2023 and 2024 admitted student profiles here .

If I meet the admission criteria, am I automatically admitted?

No. All applications are holistically reviewed by a faculty committee to ensure those recommended for admission can succeed in the program. No applicant is automatically admitted into the program.

Is work experience required for admission to the Master of Analytics program?

No. Work experience is not required for admission to the Analytics program. If you do not have work experience, we will want to know why you are choosing to pursue an Analytics degree at UC Berkeley and we will look for competitive academic records, relevant internships, and clear career goals.

I am not yet ready to apply.  What can I do now to prepare for future admission?

We recommend strengthening one’s knowledge in probability and statistics, computer programming, and linear algebra. If you have minimal analytics-oriented background, gaining this knowledge will maximize your learning in the Master of Analytics program.

Is there an interview process?

At this time, there is no plan for an interview.  If the admissions committee deems it necessary, they may arrange an interview via  Zoom.

Do I need an analytics background to apply to the program? What are common majors that pursue this degree?

Although most applicants generally come from computer science, mathematics, statistics, or engineering majors, the Analytics program application is open to all that meet eligibility requirements.  Long-term success in analytics requires both strong quantitative foundations and an interest in data-driven problem-solving. Applicants that are stronger in one area or the other can still be successful in admissions. We will also ensure that all students develop the required skills to start a promising career in data analytics upon completion of our Master of Analytics program.

Is it possible to apply for admission to multiple programs at UC Berkeley?

No. You may only apply to one degree program at UC Berkeley per admission cycle.

Does IEOR accept students with advanced degrees?

Yes, we welcome applications from individuals who have already completed an advanced degree. Our program can help you to transfer the skills you have already developed and apply them to creating data-driven solutions to problems. Please note duplicate degrees (eg: a completed Master of Analytics from another institution) are not permitted.

My GRE/TOEFL score report shows “awaiting” on my application checklist, but I already sent it to 4833. Have you received it?

GRE and TOEFL score reports take 10-15 days to be verified in UC Berkeley’s application system after they are sent to UC Berkeley. If it has been over 15 days and your status still shows “awaiting,” please contact us at [email protected] , and we will conduct a manual search for your score report. In your email, please include the email address you used to register for the exam, your full name, and your UC Berkeley application reference number. Please note that the IEOR department will not take requests to verify GRE and TOEFL score reports after Wednesday, January 10, 2024.

What would be the criteria in evaluating an application and what is considered in the selection process?

The admissions committee reviews all parts of the application holistically. We seek to identify individuals with strong motivation and academic preparation necessary for successful completion of the program.

Can I take a course from a third-party provider, like Lynda, EdX, or Coursera, to prepare for the programming requirements of this program?

Yes. You can take a certified course and provide it in your application to supplement.

What is the admissions process for international applicants?

International and domestic applications are reviewed equivalently.  Non-U.S. citizens/Permanent Residents may need to submit TOEFL or IELTS  scores to satisfy UC Berkeley’s English Language Proficiency requirement depending upon the undergraduate institution. We strongly encourage all international applicants to submit application materials early to ensure a complete application by the deadline.

Will I be offered a visa?

Learn more about immigration policy updates from the Berkeley International Office.

Will I qualify for OPT since this is an 11-month program?

Learn more about STEM OPT from the Berkeley International Office.

What is the tuition cost for this program? 

Please view the current costs, fees, and financial aid options here .

Scholarships are available on a merit and need basis. You will be reviewed for scholarships based on your application for admission to the program.  

Additional funding opportunities are available on the Graduate Division website .

Where can I find the curriculum?

Program curriculum and course descriptions can be found on http://guide.berkeley.edu/

Can I start the program in the winter/spring?

Berkeley’s Analytics program is offered as a summer (August) start only.

Can the program be offered remotely?

At this time, only the pre-semester Python boot camp is offered remotely (online) in July/August. The fall and spring terms of the program are full-time and in-person.

Is the boot camp mandatory? 

The Python boot camp is not mandatory for Fall 2024 admitted students who are already fluent in Python programming language, but it is strongly recommended for the majority of students.  

Can students take courses outside of IEOR?

Unfortunately, MAnalytics students cannot take courses outside the IEOR department. Unlike the college-wide Master of Engineering program, the Master of Analytics program is run exclusively by the IEOR department, and program fees apply toward courses offered by the IEOR department. Note that additional coursework is available through UC Berkeley Extension , however, this coursework would be an additional cost.

Is part-time study possible?

The Master of Analytics program is a full-time, in-person program.  

Can students opt for a capstone project? 

No, Analytics students complete a 200-hour industry internship in place of a capstone project.

What resources are available to help students obtain internships and jobs?

Master of Analytics students have access to a wealth of resources on campus to support them in their academic and professional journey.
