Curriculum Development:
Starting in Fall 2013, the Master of Science in Predictive Analytics will list a new concentration in Hospitality to satisfy an emerging market niche in the discipline of revenue management for the hospitality, travel and tourism industry. The new program integrates data mining and statistical modeling skills for the analysis of massive amounts of data with technical competency in hospitality revenue analytics and optimization.
Organizations in the tourism industry have access to an abundance of data, including internal data as well as third-party data available for instance through social media channels, such as TripAdvisor and Yelp. Effective analytics can lead to a better understanding of customer preferences, identify opportunities to attract new customers, develop better pricing models and improve revenue management. The MS in Predictive Analytics Hospitality concentration was designed to prepare data scientists who understand the data domain and can use their analytics skills to provide valuable insights and recommendations to hospitality leaders.
In addition to the hospitality concentration, the MS in Predictive Analytics offers Computational Methods and Marketing concentrations. The Computational Methods concentration is for students who want to focus on the technical and programming skills of Big Data analytics, and the Marketing concentration is designed for students who want to combine strong technical skills in analytics with business skills in marketing analytics and customer relationship management.
