Bachelor of Science [B.S] [Applied Statistics and Analytics] From Illinois Institute of Technology

The McKinsey Global Institute, a renowned business and economic research group, even put out a report titled “Big data: The next frontier for innovation, competition, and productivity” outlining the growth potential of this field. The Applied Analytics program at the Illinois Institute of Technology prepares students to pursue these new careers and provides expertise in communicating data and understanding human behavior that are lacking from analytics-like programs housed in areas of computer science and statistics.

While many research universities offer Applied Analytics at the graduate level, Lewis College is one of the first to offer this high-impact program at the undergraduate level.

After graduation

Analytics and data science are lucrative fields with thousands of job openings yearly in such fields as data science, market analysis, business analysis, bioinformatics, psychometrics, public relations, or research in one of these fields. You will also be prepared to continue on to graduate school in a number of fields.
