The field of learning analytics attracts professionals from a wide variety of backgrounds and experiences. Our cohorts’ diverse range of employers and job titles reflects this, as well. Students come from fields including K-12 teaching, corporate training, educational technology, and higher education administration. Many students have already acquired a graduate degree (or two), whereas others enter the program straight from completing their undergraduate degree.
Regardless of where they come from and how they plan to use the degree, they share this goal:
Make a positive impact on learning and education using data analytics.
