Board of Advisors
The Business Intelligence & Analytics program is shaped by an active board of advisors that ensures the coursework is aligned with the demands of the professional world. Members regularly meet to review the curriculum, provide input on program structure, suggest student consulting projects, and report on trends in data's growing role in the workplace and the specific hiring needs of companies as it relates to this area.
