Predictive analytics applies powerful statistical and data mining techniques to large data sets in order to generate useful information, identify patterns and trends, and build models to predict future events. Applications of these techniques are now transforming decision-making throughout business, government, healthcare, and academia. The demand for professionals knowledgeable in this area is projected to grow rapidly in the coming years.

Graduates of the MS in Data Mining and Predictive Analytics program will obtain a variety of skills required to analyze large datasets and to develop modeling solutions to support decision making. They will also develop a specialization in either marketing analytics or healthcare analytics. The specialization in healthcare analytics builds upon our division’s undergraduate healthcare informatics major which is now in its fourth year. The program aims to prepare students with the required qualifications to become "data mining analysts/engineers" or "predictive modelers".... [-]

The analysis of data has a central role in the modern information society. Organizations in both the public and private sector are collecting vast data sets, and an increasing amount of public sector data is made open. However, data - assumed to be an important asset for organizations - is useless unless it is analyzed. An analysis is required to find regularities such as trends or groupings, and to relate the data to other data sets within an organization or in scattered online repositories. Analysis needs activities such as data cleansing, data integration, modeling and prediction, interactive and iterative visualization of data and models for the refinement of hypotheses and models, and the presentation of intermediate and final results to the decision-makers using visualization and reporting methods. Successful analysts need skills in both computational and statistical topics. This program educates top-level experts in computational and statistical data analysis, who possess knowledge and skills for the aforementioned tasks and understand the overall processes of the data analysis....

The MS BIS is a STEM degree that provides a broad technical and managerial understanding of information systems, including database, systems design and IS strategy. The broad range of specializations from data management to security, to web systems make the MS BIS an extremely flexible degree. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics points to a very strong need for managers with technical skills well into the next decade.

Graduates are well positioned to serve a variety of positions including business and application systems analysts and to advance into technical management.

Information systems form the basis of the design, improvement, and maintenance of business processes. They have grown into the largest and most complex technical products and form a highly integrated part of the operational processes within companies.

An organization's information system is an essential component and if the system does not function as it should, it brings all other processes to a standstill. Whether multinationals, banks, insurance companies, government ministries, hospitals, travel companies or online shops, none of these can operate without a perfectly functioning information system.

The integration of IT systems in business processes requires experts who possess knowledge of both computer science and business administration. Our Master's program in Business Information Systems trains those experts.... [-]

In our modern society, no organization can function without information systems. In the Master of Business and Information Systems Engineering program, you are trained in both business management as well as information systems in an international context.

You understand how a company works and you take into account the economic, organizational, and human aspects of the business. As a business engineer in information systems engineering, you also translate these business administration elements into information systems that support the decision-making process. You can consider decisions about information technology against the backdrop of the company as a whole, predict their strategic consequences, and carry out (general) management duties.... [-]
