This is the age of data. It is the single biggest commodity in the world, the target of big business, government, and hackers alike. It's the one thing that every single industry has in common, and it's the center of the fastest-growing industry in the world - data analytics. A master's in data analytics prepares professionals for careers in that vague industry commonly called Big Data, but Big Data is really all around. Data analysts work in every sector, in every industry, and in every occupational level, and for working data professionals who want to take the next step in their career, Best Master's Programs has ranked the 25 Best Online Master's in Data Analytics.

The BMP ranking of the top Data Analytics Master's programs is meant to help working professionals and career-changing adults find a program with a real return on investment and career impact. Best Master's Programs used three criteria to determine the ranking:

• Cost (IPEDS data)
• Salary Potential (College Scorecard data)

As the BMP editors explain, "Receiving your Master's degree in data analytics online allows you to pursue a career in a variety of industries where big data is used to solve problems and create strategies for advancement on different levels." There are, as the editors mention, many career opportunities with a master's in data analytics: "A data science online degree gives you the credentials you need to move into higher positions of authority in management, or more specialized, in-demand roles." Data analytics is highly adaptable as well; the principles remain the same whatever the industry. A Master's in Data Analytics, then, is as close as it gets to a blank check in the 21st century. That's why online programs are a smart investment.

Most people who are interested in a master's in data analytics are already working in the area, so "Getting your data science degree online allows you to continue working in the industry and gaining the experience you need while you are still going to school." As the editors explain, "Employers will trust a master's of data science online degree because it shows your initiative to receive your education by whatever means possible." In fact, "Most employers welcome graduates who have completed an online degree program." To lead students to the programs that will work for them, BMP rankings feature only accredited institutions offering fully online and hybrid programs.
