Program Format and Schedule

Your data analytics program begins in August with a 2.5-day launch experience where you’ll meet your professors, network with classmates, and build relationships with the members of your learning team. This weekend residency requires you to be physically present on Duke University’s campus in Durham, North Carolina. From there, your program moves online. Over the next 19 months, you’ll work through course modules–including online readings and pre-recorded video lectures–on your own schedule, complete individual and team assignments, and join your class in real-time video classes each week.

After two terms, you may choose to return to Duke’s campus for an optional working professional leadership intensive. This 2.5-day immersion in a framework for leading others helps you understand your leadership effectiveness and style, and provides guidance on developing solid, enduring leadership behaviors.

Throughout your business analytics degree program, you’ll be able to arrange most course assignments and deliverables around your other commitments, mastering fundamentals within online modules so that you get the most out of class discussions during scheduled sessions.
