Currently, Mercyhurst University offers a Master of Science in Applied Intelligence. There is, however, a growing and persistent demand for intelligence professionals skilled in data science and "big data" analytics. 

But what should we include in that degree?  What courses?  What kinds of skills do intelligence focused companies, organizations and agencies want and need? 

To that end, we developed a survey to gauge the scope of organizations employing data science/analytics professionals, in addition to desired knowledge, skills, and abilities for professionals in this field.  

You can help us out by taking this short, 10 question survey now.  We will share the results here when available!
