M.S. in Data Analytics and Visualization, Katz School (South Korea)

"Three factors influenced my decision on where to attend graduate school: location, program quality, and program length. The Katz School has all three. The midtown Manhattan location is a huge advantage when networking with professionals in the data analysis and data science fields, and the program has a practical approach to learning. In our class projects, my classmates and I were developing solutions and methodologies that solve real world problems."
