Advisory Council
The Data Analytics Program has an Advisory Council with representatives from a range of local corporations who have been providing guidance to program faculty throughout much of the program development process, and continue to provide that guidance, as well a providing internship opportunities. It is expected that most students will have a chance to meet the Advisory Council members. There is a speaker series within the program, with speakers from local businesses discussing their work and challenges. Many speakers will be drawn from the Data Analytics Advisory Council.
Internships
The Data Analytics program requires an internship or project in a local business or in collaboration with a not-for-profit. Students will carry out a comprehensive data analytic process as part of the internship, allowing them to put the concepts form the classroom to work.
