ATLANTA — In Fortune’s 2025 ranking of data science master’s, the Master of Science in Analytics offered by Georgia State University’s J. Mack Robinson College of Business is 18th among all U.S. programs and 13th among public university programs. It is the only Georgia program in the ranking.
Fortune determined its rankings of data-science master’s programs by a weighted scoring of selectivity (undergraduate GPA and acceptance rates), success (student retention and graduation rates), demand (total enrollment and number of applicants for the most recent year), search volume, and previous ranking. Data points for 2023-2024 entrants and graduates were used to calculate the publication’s 2025 rankings.
Georgia State’s STEM-certified M.S. in Analytics is offered as a 16-month full-time or 24-month part-time program. The curriculum comprises eight required courses, three electives, boot camps, and intensive multiweek sprints in which students work with organizations’ data to address complicated problems, develop predictive models, and draw insights from the findings.
"The high standing of Robinson’s Master’s in Analytics in Fortune’s rankings of data-science programs is a testament to the program’s outstanding students, rigorous curriculum, accomplished faculty, and industry partnerships,” said Brian Jennings, senior associate dean for graduate programs and executive education. “As we celebrate this recognition, we are also excited to enhance the program further by embedding transformative AI advancements, ensuring our graduates continue to lead and innovate in the ever-evolving analytics and AI-driven landscape."
