delivering excellent online learning both in and out of the
classroom. All have been involved in every stage of the process to
ensure the programs are consistent with Moravian's unique pedagogy and its history of
innovation leadership."
In addition to the creation of the MSPA program, ExtensionEngine
worked with Moravian to help create a
foundation for its online pedagogy, including establishing learning
goals, creating instructional plans and policies, training faculty,
and developing marketing strategies.
"Our partnership with ExtensionEngine helped us strengthen our
commitment to innovation and define our unique approach to online
learning," said Scott Dams, Dean of Graduate Enrollment at
Moravian College. "We are confident
that our new Online Master of Science in Predictive Analytics
program will engage a broader base of students and prepare our
graduates for careers in the growing field of data analytics."
"At Moravian, our focus is on every organization's most
important asset — the people — so we vow to build the human capital
to effectively use predictive analytics," said Katie P. Desiderio, Executive Director, Graduate
Business Programs, Moravian College.
This will encourage agility at the individual, group and
