Washington, DC (June, 16, 2016) – The Office of Graduate & Professional Studies at American University is introducing three new online master’s degree programs. “We developed these unique new degree programs to meet growing analytical needs and help address the critical skills gap many organizations are facing,” said Bobbe Baggio, Associate Dean of Graduate Programs and Online Learning. In the development of these new programs, American University consulted councils of active practitioners in related fields to provide insight and guidance on the challenges organizations are tackling today and the technical, leadership and communications skills needed to overcome those challenges.
The new degrees are an MS in Measurement & Evaluation, an MS in Healthcare Management and an MS in Sports Analytics & Management. Each program is a 20-month, 30-credit program that can be completed entirely online, giving working professionals the flexibility to achieve a graduate degree while continuing to meet personal and professional commitments. No GRE is required.
