Prepare for Your Future
As the nature of the workforce continues to shift, organizations increasingly need leaders who can utilize data to make informed decisions.
The Master of Science in Decision Analysis (MDA) is a unique program designed for rising professionals in diverse fields around the world. Become an adaptive leader who can deconstruct problems, interpret complex data, and devise effective solutions, in order to drive meaningful improvements in any sector.
In this 21-month, part-time, non-residential graduate program, you will acquire key transferable skills, through the practical application of frameworks and concepts across multiple contexts.
Active Learning in Small Seminars
All MDA classes are conducted using Minerva’s fully active learning methodology, based on key principles from the learning sciences. The small seminar format compels you to be prepared to contribute in every class session, helping you hone your critical thinking, debate, and presentation skills. Classes themselves are held in the Forum™ virtual learning environment, enabling flexibility for working professionals and MDA cohorts composed of globally distributed, culturally diverse peers.
Forum ™
Forum™ is designed specifically to improve your educational experience, with video-based seminars that provide:
- Intimate interaction with your professor and fewer than 20 students
- Individualized instruction and frequent feedback
- Attendance from anywhere with broadband internet
- Simplified schedule and assignment management
- Enhanced performance review and progress tracking

Think Global, Act Local
"I am confident that I have obtained important tools to understand the complexity of problems and the ability to consider a broader range of perspectives — skills I did not have before I enrolled at Minerva. Because Japan’s value of hard-working culture is so deeply entrenched in society and within organizations, I will need to understand the multiple causes, conflicting assumptions, and possible effective interventions in order to help create solutions."
