I'd say it's very statistics heavy, but it depends on the individual. They offer three different tracks: computational, business, and analytical tools. If you pick the analytical tools track your classes will be more stats heavy.
Most of the core classes (like machine learning) are more math based. In machine learning, it's done from a mathematical/theoretical approach. Another example is regression analysis, where you learn the math before doing the practical work in R.
I have a weak math/stats background but a strong software background, which also aligns with my interests so I'm doing the computational track. As I mentioned before, most of the core curriculum is math heavy so I'm learning that aspect, but I'm also getting a ton of practical experience in machine learning and big data work.
- codezero 10y agoAwesome! Thanks for letting me know. Hopefully after completing the program you still enjoyed it :)
- neom 10y agoI'm curious to learn more about the business track, do you know where I might be able to read more about what is covered? Thank you.
- almostkorean 10y agoYep! Check out this link: http://www.analytics.gatech.edu/curriculum/business-analytics-track http://www.analytics.gatech.edu/curriculum/business-analytic...

(https://pe.gatech.edu/online-masters-degrees/analytics/program-information https://pe.gatech.edu/online-masters-degrees/analytics/progr...) Looks like the business track isn't offered in the online program (yet), which is weird because it looks like all the requirements are offered online.
