The degree curriculum is designed to cover all the in-depth aspects of the field and thoroughly prepare students for the Certified Analytics Program (CAP) and Associated Certified Analytics Program (ACAP) professional certification exams, should they wish to take them. Most students complete their degree in two years, but an accelerated study option is available where you can double-up on courses and graduate in 14 months.
