CHICOPEE — Elms College announced the launch of its master’s degree in data analytics & AI, a dynamic new graduate program designed to prepare students for careers in rapidly growing fields such as data science, business analytics, and artificial intelligence.

Program highlights include flexibility (fully online, eight-week courses that fit working students’ schedules), an interdisciplinary approach (courses span business, statistics, and computer information technology); and quick completion (students can complete the program in one year by taking two courses at a time).

Graduates of the program will be prepared for in-demand roles, including data analyst, business analyst, data scientist, machine learning engineer, and AI engineer, among others, positions that are critical to today’s workforce.

“Our new master’s in data analytics & AI embodies Elms College’s commitment to prepare working professionals to lead with both technical excellence and ethical purpose in fields that are reshaping our economy and society,” said Joyce Hampton, vice president of Academic Affairs at Elms College.
