The toughest part about earning a Master of Science in Analytics at North Carolina State University NCSU may be deciding which job to accept.The 75 students in the class of 2014, which is nearing graduation, received, in total, 246 job offers from 55 employers.Added together, the starting salaries and bonuses offered to grads of the university’s Institute of Advanced Analytics reached $22.5 million, which is 24% higher than last year’s combined offers. This is an analytics program, after all; they keep track of these things.This meant that lot of employers went home unhappy, unable to get the candidate they were after, despite offering nearly six-figure salaries on average — and bonuses as well.High demand by employers is also boosting applications, and that’s reducing acceptance rates.
