The Same MSA, Started Early
A Master of Science in Analytics builds advanced skills in data analysis, statistical methods, and machine learning, preparing you to work with large, complex datasets and turn them into decisions that organizations act on.
The 4+1 path leads to the same 30-hour, STEM-designated Master of Science in Analytics as our traditional degree program. As a qualified FSC undergraduate, you begin graduate coursework in your senior year, so the master's takes about one additional year rather than two.
The Early Credits
As a 4+1 student you may complete up to 9 credit hours of graduate coursework during your senior year, billed at the undergraduate rate and counting toward both degrees.
4+1 Admission Requirements
Open to all majors. Apply during your junior year. You'll need:
- At least 93 completed undergraduate credit hours by the start of the program
- A minimum 3.0 GPA
- A current resume
- Approval from the MSA Program Director
How 4+1 Billing Works
Admitted undergraduate students in the 4+1 MSA program can take up to 9 credit hours of graduate coursework during their undergraduate studies. These credits count toward both undergraduate and MSA degree requirements.
- Graduate courses taken during fall or spring semesters before earning an undergraduate degree are billed at the traditional undergraduate full-time tuition rate.
- Courses taken during a summer semester before completing the undergraduate degree follow the undergraduate summer tuition rate.
- Once the undergraduate degree is awarded, any additional graduate coursework is charged at the MSA per-credit-hour rate.

"Teaching is how I serve, shaping students through a meaningful curriculum, pedagogy, and research. My teaching philosophy centers on this tenet: 'To equip students through active learning, meaningful experiences, and individualized mentorship.' I recognize that each student has unique learning preferences, interests, and needs, but we share a common goal: to grow and positively impact our community. I am dedicated to fostering an equitable, inclusive learning culture that values diverse perspectives and empowers students in their self-guided discovery."
