Below are a few examples:

In just 10 months, students can earn a Master of Science in Analytics through the university’s Institute for Advanced Analytics.

Northwestern University will begin its first MSPA degree program in the fall of 2011.

The cross-functional coursework covers data warehousing, marketing, finance and operations and incorporates real project work.

The program provides students with an understanding of business and helps them learn the analytical skills needed to solve business problems. Students can choose one of three areas of concentration: Applied Statistics, Process Optimization or Business Intelligence.

Since 2003, Central Connecticut State University has offered a Master of Science in Data Mining degree. The program helps students master the cross-industry standard process for data mining, become proficient with leading data mining software, and to understand and apply a wide variety of mathematical and statistical techniques. It also introduces students to the latest data mining techniques and applications such as text mining and mining genomics data.
