Thursday, August 20, 2020
In an era of data-driven business decisions, there is no question that business analytics

and the promising career outlook, the Stillman School of Business has been placing
particular focus on the field of analytics.

David Rosenthal, chair of the Department of Computing and Decision Sciences. "Last
year we launched a Master's in Business Analytics. In the recent past, we've also introduced new courses in analytics in our supply
chain management and sports management specializations." New this year is an undergraduate
major in financial technology, which will be an intersection of finance and business
analytics.
