M.Sc. in information and Telecom Engineering, Xidian University, Xi’an, China, 2002
"I learned Stevens Institute of Technology from some friends. At that time I was thinking about my future career plan in the United States. I had worked many years at China Telecom and understand the operation of enterprises very well. With my long-time working experience in a cutting-edge company, I had a keen feeling that the BI&A program would prepare me for a useful and promising professional career so I joined the program without hesitation. So far, I have been studying in this program for more than one semester and have taken courses in database, data warehousing, optimization and process analytics. Stevens is closely linked with industry and we are fortunate to have many opportunities to meet with business people in the analytics field and to communicate with them and learn from them. This helps us keep updated with developments in industry and to understand the links between the concepts we learn in the program and practical work. I have learned a lot from studying at Stevens Institute of Technology. I feel happy that I chose this program and more confident about my future..”

“The Stevens Business Intelligence and Analytics degree is excellent in that it is the perfect amalgamation of the theoretical underpinnings of critical business and information technology concepts and the pragmatism valuable for one to become a useful contributor to any industry falling under the purview of this nascent field. Though the sample space for a definitive comparison is rather small, as is true with all new programs, the better grasp of the interface between the business and information technology sectors it has given me in so short a time is a bigger testament of its intrinsic value. Add to that proximity to the de facto financial capital of the world, then the program’s value increases even more.”

“The MS program in Business Intelligence & Analytics at Stevens Institute of Technology is a very unique program. This course offers a unique blend of Business, statistics and analytic skills giving me an edge over people from similar background. This is the one of the few Programs offering an industry-oriented capstone course, which will give a very good exposure to International students like me. The MS- BI&A program has so far been an amazing experience which has helped me learn a great combination of hands-on and theoretical knowledge. A family member is the alumnus of the University and recommended Stevens very strongly to me. I would go further and highly recommend the MS in BI&A program at Stevens Institute of Technology to anyone without a second thought.”
