“Launching this online graduate business program to meet the demands of the market is completely aligned with the mission of Moravian College, dating back to our start in 1742,” commented Bryon Grigsby, president of Moravian College. “We’ve worked hard to embrace technology and make it ubiquitous on campus for every student, and this online program is part of that evolution.”
The Moravian Graduate program has partnered with Extension Engine to build their online MSPA program which will begin offering classes in September 2019. Extension Engine is a world-class learning solutions provider and nationally recognized expert in online learning that has helped highly regarded institutions like Notre Dame, Harvard and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (M.I.T.) build online learning programs.
“Our partnership with Extension Engine helps strengthen the college’s commitment towards innovation and the liberal arts tradition,” said Scott Dams, dean of graduate enrollment at Moravian College. “There is a pronounced need for data analytics professionals in the region, and the Online Master of Science in Predictive Analytics program will prepare graduates to meet that demand.”
(Blogger's Note: Moravian College has hidden my records and will deny this, but I graduated from that school after 13 years. The person who sent me this will probably be fired. I am happy to post notices from any college.)

Another slow bloggers day.
What is predictive analytics?
Congratulations to Moravian on this important milestone.
Predictive Analytics is an area in which I've been deeply involved for several years, and the more my firm and I deploy applications employing it, the more astonished I become by its power -- and how rapidly the technology is advancing.
Pierre Laplace said, "Donnez-moi les consitions initiales, et je vais prédire l'avenir." ("Give me the initial conditions, and I'll predict the future."). Predictive Analysis can't do *that*, of course, but it does do an amazingly good job of indicating the likelihood of a set of various potential outcomes given a strong enough historic data set. And Google's Cloud Platform has done a remarkable job of democratizing the technology, offering a world-class development environment practically for free.
With the use of Predictive Analytics is spreading like wildfire through the business, finance, and medical/pharma communities , no one expert in its use will ever want for a job...

Let's not forget the downside of this marvelous capability e.g. Cambridge Analytica = social media tampering to exact a political agenda wanted by clients who will pay? Remember Asimov's Foundation series predicted (no pun intended) this many years ago.
The education industrial complex!!!!
