Mactan College ’s current program that supports Day-1 CPT is the Data Analytics Master’s Program .

Mactan College’s Master of Data Analytics program provides graduate students with the skills they need to succeed as data analysts, operations analysts, and leaders in the global information technology competition. The course is designed to provide a comprehensive and in-depth understanding of the key elements that make up data science, statistics, data mining, problem analysis, big data and decision making. The project utilizes proven practices, current state-of-the-art tools and techniques, and an effective teamwork approach.

This project places special emphasis on practical application, so the project requires students to complete CPT during their studies in order to apply what they have learned in actual work. In the second year, students will have the opportunity to collect, research, and analyze data through a final capstone experience.
