Programs of Study
Programs of Study
Master of Science in Decision Analysis (MDA)
Minerva’s online MDA teaches students how to deconstruct problems, interpret complex data, analyze social systems, and devise effective solutions. Beyond what a typical MBA degree can offer, the MDA gives students durable, universal skills in analytics and decision making to carry them through the ever-changing demands of the 21st century.
Certificate in Decision Analysis (CDA)
Closely related to the MDA, Minerva’s online CDA teaches students how to tackle complex problems and make informed decisions across contexts, industries, and domains. CDA students prepare to become wise leaders, effective global actors, and nimble change-makers.
“At its core, the Master’s in Decision Analysis gave me the tools to navigate complexity. Whatever I do throughout my life, I will never again be overwhelmed by the vast unknown, nor will I just set sail and hope for the best. I have the mindset, and the skillset, to steer through the sea of data and information coming at me — and chart the course to a worthwhile destination.”

"Minerva is just so ahead of the curve, even compared to elite institutions around it because its programs were intentionally designed around remote learning."
Haishuo Lee, Class of 2024 | Taiwan
"It is not about teaching knowledge. It is not about teaching information. It is about teaching a framework of thinking and decision making."
Ramshreyas Rao, Class of 2022 | India
"I feel like the courses not only gave me a set of skills to apply to some subject area but also a perspective on what I want to do in life."
