ALUMNI OUTCOMES

Hear from our alumni and their employers

I would definitely hire other Nexford graduates. I've been really impressed with Onyinye's progress so far and anyone with that experience level is really a good fit for us at Microsoft.

Rebecca Young

Principal Business Insights Manager, Microsoft

I started taking a one-year Master of Management program at one of Indonesia’s top universities... I didn’t complete it, because I was drawn to Nexford, which is a better fit for my life. I truly get a real-world education. I’m not merely attending to earn a degree.

Michael Ariel

Private Banking Specialist, CITI Bank

Choosing Nexford University was definitely an educated decision! ...It came down to a choice between a Dutch university and Nexford. Nexford stood out for me in that they offered a modular approach to knowledge transfer in specific areas of expertise, integrated business practice and monthly payments. The structure of the module was also fantastic in that I could see that it would fit around my busy schedule.

Mornay Schoeman

Founder, YABDA Collective

I needed to gain advanced technical skills that I could apply to my business, but also consult and advise other businesses. Nexford gave me that.

Can I really finish an MS in Data Analytics in 9 months?

Yes — for learners who qualify for accelerated pacing and commit 15–20 hours per week. Standard pace is 18 months. The faster you complete, the less you pay in total. Eligibility confirmed at enrollment.

Will employers recognize my Nexford degree?

Nexford graduates work at Amazon, Microsoft, KPMG, Deloitte, EY, Walmart, JPMorgan, and hundreds of other US and global employers.

Distance Education Accrediting Commission (DEAC) accreditation is the same national standard used by other online universities.

What happens if I need to pause my studies?

You can pause your program at any time. Your progress is saved, and monthly billing stops. No penalty fees, no re-application when you return.

Do I need to quit my job or relocate?

No. Nexford is 100% online and fully asynchronous. There are no live lecture requirements, no campus visits, and no fixed class times. Study when and where it works for you.

Is this for technical people or business people?

Both. The MS in Data Analytics is built for professionals who want to bridge data skills with business strategy — you don't need a computer science background to succeed here.

Do I need a GMAT to apply?

No GMAT, no GRE, no minimum GPA. You need a bachelor's degree from an accredited institution — your field of study doesn't have to be business. If it isn't, you'll complete one short foundation course before starting the program. That's it.
