The best programs in Big Data will allow students to develop the technological aptitudes and managerial competencies necessary to succeed in the fast-paced business world. Students will need to develop both technical and business acumen that will enable them to move forward into leadership positions.

"Investing in one of these degrees is a wise choice: on average, these professionals earn over $100,000 a year," Editor Jordan Biltmore said. "Although graduates possessing only a Bachelor's degree can be quite successful in the industry, even more employers are valuing candidates with advanced degrees."
