After taking a class on information technology for business applications during my sophomore year at UTD, I was intrigued by the power of data in decision-making. The concept of data-driven decision-making was something I had never been exposed to in my other coursework. After just one class, I was inspired to switch my major to Business Analytics. My time in the program has equipped me with valuable skills in problem-solving, data analysis, and critical thinking, enabling me to translate data insights into strategic business decisions effectively. I am confident that the skills I have honed and developed while participating in the program have built a strong foundation for my future career while navigating the dynamic business landscape. The Business Analytics program is also well-equipped with knowledgeable and helpful faculty and staff who are always ready to provide guidance and support students in their pursuit of excellence.
