Data Analytics (BS)

In JWU’s Data Analytics program, you’ll learn problem-solving skills that can be applied to any industry while benefiting from personalized attention in a small department. You’ll build a strong foundation in applied statistics, programming, data visualization and spreadsheets, and master the tools and software needed to collect and analyze data. This knowledge will help you uncover patterns, find correlations and predict outcomes for better decision-making in your field. Along with your focus on math, programming and communication, the program offers room for a minor in another subject of your choice, such as business, hospitality, design, health or technology, preparing you for a career in various sectors like corporations, nonprofits, schools or government agencies.

Student opportunities abound for hands-on data analysis, from completing a Directed Experiential Education (DEE) for course credit to taking advantage of opportunities for undergraduate research. Our Data Analytics students have been placed in internships at partners that include the Department of Defense, MIKEL Inc., Horizon Healthcare Partners, Chubb, Harmony Biosciences, the Providence Performing Arts Center, the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) Office of Institutional Effectiveness and the American University in Florence, Italy.
