The self-development of knowledge, experiences, opinions, and ideas sharpens analytical skills, improves judgment, and enhances conceptual skills. This approach also allows students to apply theoretical constructs from their courses to real-world
problems.
The ability to communicate effectively is important in the business world. Students show the development of this skill making oral presentations.
Although highly quantitative, data analytics is not an exact science. Students need the ability to assess the strength and weakness of various analytical techniques, along with when and how each technique should be utilized. Students will be exposed
to business situations requiring reflection, analysis, and action to gain experience in applying analytical tools in practical situations.
