About data analytics

The data analytics program features professors with corporate and industry experience, state-of-the-art data analysis software and simulations, and thought-provoking coursework to challenge each student.

Start your application

The most valuable lesson that I have learned in data analytics is to be inquisitive. Data analytics has so many aspects to it, and the analytics faculty do a great job of giving a well-rounded education on all of those aspects. Since new studies and methods are coming out, there is always more to learn. The best part about this is how the faculty at JBU are always happy to answer questions and advance your learning whether that is in the classroom, during office hours, or over coffee.
